We have beautiful stretch cotton poplin in a rainbow of colors to suit your project. With cotton poplin fabric you can create summer dresses, shirts, light skirts and professional medical uniform. Added spandex gives comfortable stretch and can be used to create fitted garments. Stretch poplin fabric is a versatile, soft and workable fabric used for many different types of projects, and this is an indispensable addition to any fabric store. Cotton poplin showcases the softness and lightweight texture of cotton with the flexibility and stretch of spandex. If you are making a dress, tank top or tee shirt you want to be a little more close-fitting, without being too tight, stretchy cotton poplin fabric is your solution. This fabric will hug closer while retaining its shape, making it perfect for stylish fashion textiles and dresses.
Poplin’s distinctive ribbed texture and the tightly closed weave are what gives the fabric its luster. When first created, poplin was a plain weave constructed using fine silk warp yarns that were filled in with heavier wool yarn. This is how it gets that classic ribbed texture. Today, poplin is primarily made from 100% real cotton, making it lightweight but still retaining its strength. Other variations include wool, silk, satin, rayon or a poly blend fabric, but the basic concept remains the same; 2 yarns of different thicknesses in a plain weave. If you like having the best of both worlds at all times, poplin is thin and cool with an easy drape, yet simultaneously sturdy and tough.
We offer a wide selection of cotton based fabrics and can help source fabric for any size project.
