What is cotton poplin?
Cotton poplin is a versatile and comfortable fabric, ideal for making clothing (especially shirts) and accessories. Its soft and slightly shiny texture makes it a popular choice for tailors and seamstresses, whether they are beginners or experienced.
Cotton poplin is a fabric that is light, soft, and breathable. That's why this fabric is globally acclaimed for shirt making! It is made from finely woven cotton threads, giving it a smooth and slightly shiny texture.
Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is denser and tighter than other types of cotton fabrics, giving it a firm feel and a neat appearance. The thickness of cotton poplin can vary, but generally, it is considered a medium-weight fabric, offering both some structure and good flexibility.
