Fabric Specifications
Our fabrics have been tried and tested, over and over again and the results are topnotch, which is why we stock what we do! Below is a list of specifications for fabrics that are currently available at Nerida Hansen Fabrics.
We recommend that you pre-wash your textiles prior to cutting and sewing as shrinkage will occur with most natural fibres. It is important to note that the care instructions are guidelines only.
All fabric orders are measured in increments of 50cm (0.5m) unless marked otherwise. We will always supply your order as one continuous piece unless it is advertised as a pre-cut remnant.
