Handle: Seriously sturdy and hardwearing, with excellent stability in both width and length and a natural bias ease that supports structured garment shapes.

Drape: Malleable with a satisfyingly heavy drape, perfect for garments designed to cocoon and insulate.

Upcycling: Dont throw away those scraps, use them for rag rugging, appliqu scenes or smaller crafted details that benefit from warmth and durability.
