Algae Wax Feel Sustainable Cotton Fabric

Crafted from 100% BCI sustainable cotton, this wax feel fabric weighs in at a substantial 425gsm, giving it real body and a pleasingly tactile finish. Unlike traditional waxed cottons, this version is fully washable, so it keeps its soft wax-like feel wash after wash without needing special treatment. Over time the fabric will naturally crease and crack, developing a lived-in, aged character that many makers and designers actively look for in heritage style projects.

Supplied in a striking algae colourway, this fabric works equally well for light upholstery and small furnishing projects as it does for garments and accessories. Overshirts, trousers, jackets and coats all benefit from its soft wax finish, while footwear, satchels, laptop cases, backpacks, gloves, hats, caps and belts show off its durable, textured surface. At 152cm wide, there is generous coverage for cutting larger pattern pieces, making it a practical choice for both fashion and accessory making.
