Navy Cotton Corduroy Fabric

This 8 wale navy cotton corduroy is a sturdy, dark dress material with textured velvety ribs. Corduroy is the perfect winter fabric to make warm, cosy clothes! This dark navy cord fabric made from 100% cotton. An alternative strong fabric is our Navy Cotton Drill Fabric.

How thick is this corduroy?

Each of our corduroy fabrics have a wale number, worked out by counting the number of wales or ribs in a single inch of fabric. The lower the wale number, the thicker the wales on corduroy fabric will be. Higher wale numbers indicate thinner wales that are more closely bunched together. A standard corduroy fabric has around 11-12 wales, so this 8 wale dark blue corduroy is chunkier than a standard cord, but not as much as a jumbo cord. Find out more about corduroy here.

Colours can appear differently on screen, so although every care has been taken to represent them accurately, some variations may occur from real life. To check colours are as you expect we recommend you order a sample, to see and feel the fabric in the flesh. Free samples are available for all fabrics! Colours can also vary between dye lots, so please ensure you order enough for your project.

So we can package your fabrics beautifully for posting, they will be taken off the roll and folded. We try our best to always send fabric in one continuous length although this is not always possible, we will contact you if this is the case. Some fabrics are also on sale in our shop in Bridport, Dorset, so on rare occasions stock may not be available where it appears to be online. We do our best to avoid this and many fabrics can be reordered, again if this occurs we will contact you to discuss the options.

To keep your lovely new fabrics in the best condition we recommend checking out the Product Info for details on how to care for them. Washable fabrics should always be hand washed, before cutting and making your projects, in order to allow for shrinkage.

For best results we recommend curtains should be dry-cleaned. To order curtains contact us with your measurements and request a quote.
