Calico - Mediumweight - per half metre
Loomstate Calico is a plain-woven fabric made from unbleached, unshrunk cotton, still containing cotton seeds. It has a myriad of uses in dressmaking, craft & furnishing.
Medium weight calico is good for a wide range of projects including making toiles and patterns for garments, creating bags, aprons, and home furnishings, and as a base for dyeing and crafting projects. Its medium weight makes it durable for items like cushions and upholstery underlayers, while still being easy to work with for toiles and craft applications.

Ordering: This fabric is priced by the half metre / 50cm (1 unit). Multiple units will be sent as a continuous piece.
For example if you'd like 1.5 metres this is 3 units (3 x 1/2 metre) so enter '3' into the Quantity box and Add To Basket. This will be cut as one continuous piece measuring 1.5m long x the width of the wadding.
If you need help calculating how much fabric you need please use the chart we have provided on our Shopping Guide page, you will also find a diagram explaining what a fat quarter is, as we know it can be confusing!
If you’d like your wadding to be cut to different lengths, please add a note with order at checkout.
Washing Instructions: Loomstate fabric will shrink by around 10% on first wash and a further 3% thereafter. 30 degree machine wash. Cool tumble dry. We strongly recommend testing a small piece first to be sure.
We aim to post all orders within 1 working day.
All parcels will be sent as default by Royal Mail 2nd Class* which is free for orders over £50. For orders below £50 delivery is charged at £3.00.

Fabric Size Guide
As the image shows, we cut our fabrics by the Fat Quarter, Half Metre, 3/4 Metre and Full Metre.
Fat Quarter = 55cm wide x 50cm long (21" x 19")
Half Metre = 110cm wide x 50cm long (43" x 19")
3/4 Metre = 110cm wide x 75cm long (43" x 29")
Full Metre = 110cm wide x 100cm long (43" x 39")
Please note that this is a rough guide as the fabrics can vary slightly in width.
Once you have found a fabric you like, you'll see on the page there is a box called 'Quantity'. You can either type directly into this box, or use the up and down arrows as appropriate.
You can decide how much you would like to buy using the Quantity box. If you only want 1 Fat Quarter leave the Quantity box with ‘1’. If you would like Half Metre type '2' into the box (or use the Up Arrow to increase the quantity). If you would like 3/4 Metre type '3' into the box, and so on.
You can refer to our chart for larger quantities.
