Fabric categories are useful starting points, but the right material depends on the exact garment or project you are making. Construction, composition, weight, stretch, finish, usable width, color, and available quantity can differ from one fabric to another.
Start with the intended use
Describe the finished item before choosing a fabric: for example, a T-shirt, sweatshirt, pant, dress, jacket, trim, bag, or home project. The intended use helps identify the characteristics that matter most.
Review the product details
- Composition and construction where listed
- Weight, stretch, finish, and usable width
- Hand feel, surface appearance, and color
- Available quantity and the needs of the project
Evaluate before production
Retail fabric is available by the yard for a smaller project or material comparison. For production quantity, wholesale begins at one full roll and roll yardage varies by fabric.
KBM Fabrics offers in-house knit fabrics alongside carefully sourced and selected textiles. Browse fabrics or request a wholesale quote for a specific fabric, color, and quantity.
