Jacquards

How woven jacquards differ from surface-printed fabrics

Unlike standard prints where dye sits on top of finished cloth, a jacquard incorporates its motif directly into the weave. Individual threads interlace to build up pattern and texture simultaneously, giving the material a distinct handle and natural structure. Because the designs are an integral part of the woven structure rather than applied ink, the pattern has depth and substance.

These characteristics make the material versatile across craft, decoration, and dressmaking. The woven construction lends itself to upholstery, multipurpose home projects, and garment dress lining where a neat, stable drape is needed.

Comparing widths, weights and design themes

Choosing the right option depends on the scale of your make and the dimensions of your pattern pieces:

• Width variations: Cloths in this range vary across rolls, with specific widths measuring 140cm, 145 cm, and 58"/ 148cm.
• Fibre blend and weight: Options include cotton-rich selections composed of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, offering a weight of 228gr/m2 for multipurpose craft and home decorating.
• Pattern themes: Visual designs in the selection include pictorial styles such as boat prints and tropical leaves, suitable for soft furnishings, creative craft makes, or contrasting apparel linings.
