A fabric content label identifies the fiber composition of a specific material. Use it as one part of the comparison—not as a complete prediction of how every fabric will feel or perform.
Cotton
Cotton is a natural fiber used in many types of fabrics. The construction, finish, weight, and exact product details affect the material you are considering.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic fiber used in many fabric constructions. Review the product information for the specific option, especially if your project depends on feel, stretch, finish, or care requirements.
Blends
A blend combines more than one fiber. The percentages and construction matter, so compare the full product details where they are listed.

For an apparel or sewing project, consider the intended use alongside composition, construction, weight, stretch, finish, usable width, and available quantity. Retail fabric is available by the yard, while wholesale begins at one full roll.
