What is craft fabric?

Craft fabric is a general term for fabrics and textiles that can be used for craft projects. As there are so many kinds of DIY and craft projects, there are also a plethora of craft fabrics available to make them with.

When considering what fabric is right for you, you need to understand the project you are undertaking. Fabrics can have very different characteristics, ranging from weight and composition to yarn and structure.

It is important to take your time when choosing the right fabric for the job. Sturdier fabrics such as cotton and canvas will work for hardier jobs, while more delicate fabrics such as lace or Georgette will require a gentler hand and a project that is less handled. 

Popular choices for craft fabric:

  1. Denim
  2. Felt
  3. Cotton
  4. Canvas
  5. Twill
  6. Fleece
  7. Velvet
  8. Jersey
  9. Velour
  10. Neoprene

How is it manufactured?

Each craft fabric is made and manufactured using a different process. Some fabrics are knitted, such as neoprene and lace, while others are woven, such as satin and fleece. The manufacturing process makes a big difference to the fabric’s strength, construction, and handle.

You will also find that some craft fabric is made with man made yarns, while others are made with natural fibres; cotton and linen being good examples of this. There are also those fabrics which are made with yarns consisting of a combination of man made and natural fibres. These fabrics can have the best of both worlds; the beauty of a natural fabric with the durability and ease of care of a synthetic.
