100% Cotton Denim Fabric - Black - 10 oz
Location: 121 Princess St, 2nd Floor, Wood Studio
A true 10 oz denim — the do-everything weight. Heavy enough for jeans, jackets and aprons that will outlast trends; light enough that a home machine will sew it without complaint. This is the fabric for the project you want to still be wearing in ten years, softening and wearing in until it's completely yours.
Care
Machine wash cold, inside out, and wash separately for the first few washes — dark dyes like to share. Tumble dry low or hang. Iron on high. Pre-wash before cutting (twice if you want the shrinking fully done).
