A swatch (also called a sample, fabric clipping, or cut piece) is a small square of fabric about 4 by 4 inches that we mail you so you can feel the weight, texture, and true color before committing to yards.

Most of our cotton knits can be machine washed cold and tumble dried low. Always check the product page for fabric-specific care instructions. When in doubt, wash cold and air dry on first wash.

Cotton knits typically shrink 3 to 8 percent on the first wash unless pre-shrunk. If the product page says pre-shrunk, the shrinkage is already accounted for. If it says raw, plan to pre-wash before cutting.

Yes, always pre-wash before cutting if you are sewing a fitted garment. This locks in residual shrinkage and prevents your finished piece from changing size after the first home wash.

A mix. Our cotton knits are spun in-house in Vernon, California, and we work with US mills wherever possible. For specialty fabrics like Japanese selvedge denim, we source directly from Japan. Our goal: ship the highest quality fabric we can find, prefer US-made when the quality is there, and import what we cannot source domestically.

Family business, cutting and selling fabric in LA since 1984.

We source as much as possible from US mills and stock natural fibers (cotton, modal, tencel, bamboo, linen) over synthetics. Not perfect, but we keep getting closer.
