FAQs

What is deadstock fabric?

Deadstock fabric consists of high-quality rolls of material that were leftover from luxury production runs or unsold by mills, saved from being sent to landfills.

Can I order more if I run out?

No. Because these fabrics are surplus materials, they are limited edition. Once the specific stock is sold, we cannot source more.

Is this fabric suitable for a beginner?

Yes, provided you are comfortable with basic tailoring techniques. Wool blends are generally stable and forgiving to sew.

How should I wash this fabric?

We recommend professional dry cleaning for this wool blend to preserve the quality and prevent felting or shrinkage.

Does the fabric come with specific composition details?

While it is a premium wool blend, exact percentages of fibers can sometimes vary as these are sourced from designer surplus.

Why is this fabric considered sustainable?

It is sustainable because it repurposes material that already exists, effectively reducing the need for new textile production and preventing waste.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying at the edges while sewing

Use a zigzag stitch or a serger to finish raw edges immediately after cutting your pattern pieces.

Difficulty pressing bulky seams

Use a tailor's clapper and a pressing ham to compress the seam allowance and set the fabric fibers flat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your project lasts, follow these guidelines for handling and maintenance:

Pre-treatment: Test a small swatch by steaming it to check for shrinkage, as deadstock fabrics may have varying finishes.
Cutting: Lay out all pattern pieces before cutting to maximize the limited yardage provided.
Needle Choice: Use a size 80/12 or 90/14 needle depending on the thickness of the specific roll.
Care Instructions: Due to the wool content, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the fabric's luster and structural integrity.
Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place to prevent moths or fading.
