This Italian yarn-dyed cotton shirting fabric features a refined plaid pattern woven in dark black and charcoal tones with contrasting beige, cream and subtly muted yellow-green lines.

The plaid is created using yarn-dyed threads woven directly into the fabric, giving the design a more dimensional appearance than a surface print. The intersecting fine lines create a classic plaid with enough detail to add visual interest while remaining versatile and easy to wear.

At only 107 gsm, this fabric is lightweight and comfortable, with a softer and more fluid drape than a heavier shirting. Its 100% cotton construction offers breathability and a natural hand, making it especially suitable for garments intended to be worn throughout the year or layered.

The generous 154 cm / 60.6" width also makes it an efficient choice for garment sewing. Made in Italy, this cotton shirting works beautifully for both classic tailored styles and relaxed contemporary silhouettes.

Recommended Needle

For best results, use a Universal or Microtex needle in size 70/10. A size 80/12 may also be suitable depending on your thread and sewing machine. Test your needle and stitch settings on a scrap before beginning your project.

Care

Pre-washing before cutting is recommended, as cotton may shrink. Wash with similar colors in cool or warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid excessive heat when drying to help preserve the fabric and its woven colors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the plaid printed onto the fabric?
No. This is a yarn-dyed fabric, meaning the individual yarns are dyed before weaving and the plaid pattern is created directly through the woven construction.

Is this fabric lightweight?
Yes. At 107 gsm, this is a lightweight cotton shirting with a softer, more fluid drape, making it particularly suitable for shirts, blouses, shirt dresses and lightweight garments.

Does the plaid need to be pattern matched?
For the cleanest finish, pattern matching is recommended at visible seams such as centre fronts, side seams and pockets. Depending on your sewing pattern, you may wish to purchase a little extra fabric to allow for matching.

Due to the different color variations of each monitor and mobile device, we cannot guarantee the color will exactly match what you see online.
