0240 Vermiljoen Kersenboom Stof Per Meter

I ordered two yards to recover a small ottoman and the suede-like finish fooled my sister into thinking it was the real thing. It's 100% cotton so it presses beautifully, no weird shine from the iron. Drapes like a dream too.

I was worried the suede look would feel stiff, but this cotton drapes so softly it's hard to believe it's not the real thing. The cinnabar color has real depth in person, deeper in the folds and warmer in the light. Made a throw pillow cover with it and already ordered more.

The hand-dyeing really gives this cotton that suede-like depth I was hoping for — the cinnabar shade has so much richness in person. I’ve already cut into it for a quilt backing and the texture feels substantial yet soft.
