Experience the Blend of Wool and Cashmere

Our Wool Twill Fabric is meticulously crafted using a blend of premium wool and cashmere fibers. The twill weave pattern lends a unique texture to the fabric, characterized by its elegant diagonal lines and ridges. This weave structure ensures enhanced strength and resilience, making it suitable for various applications.

Unrivalled Softness and Comfort

With the addition of cashmere fibers, our Cashmere Wool Twill Fabric becomes exceptionally soft, smooth, and luxurious. It caresses your skin with a gentle touch, elevating the comfort of your creations to new heights.

Note that, Our Cashmere Wool Fabric is lovingly woven on hand looms using these exceptional fibres, resulting in a product that is truly one-of-a-kind. Embracing the artisanal nature of the weaving process, we acknowledge the possibility of minor flaws, imperfections, or irregularities in the weave, which further enhances its charm. At times, you may notice small white unprinted areas caused by fabric fluff shedding during processing, revealing the unprinted fabric underneath. Fear not, this is a customary occurrence, and we maintain a tolerance of approximately 1-2 dots per m², which is considered perfectly acceptable. Additionally, due to the distinctive attributes of this material, hemmed edges may exhibit some scalloping, resulting in slight deviations from straight lines in your design. But isn't that what makes our fabric so extraordinary?

Surface textures

Our Twill Wool Cashmere fabric showcases exquisite surface textures, thanks to its twill weave structure. The diagonal lines and ridges create a distinct texture that adds depth and visual interest to your creations.

Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage

We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:

• Light Fabrics (0.59oz-2.95oz): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 0.24" - 0.32" / 6mm-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 0.48"-0.56""/ 12-16mm
• Medium Fabrics (2.98oz-5.90oz): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.4" - 1.6" / 35-40mm
• Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.5" / 35-40mm

All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage, it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.

How Would you Like the Edge?

• As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border. 
• Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer. 
• Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile. 

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.
