Ticking Stripe Blue Fabric

Ticking stripe blue is a printed, woven ticking fabric with a softer feel than traditional ticking.  This is a traditional woven ticking. It has a design of thick and thin stripes in denim blue on a cream background.

What is ticking?

Ticking is a strong woven fabric with a traditional design and is especially suitable for boxed cushions. Ticking fabric was originally used to cover mattresses, pillows or upholstery. The close weave of this fabric helps keep the feathers inside. The stripes work particularly well for creating piping to set off your cushions. This fabric also makes a funky curtain lining! Please note ticking fabric shrinks when washed so please allow for up to 10% shrinkage and wash your fabric before measuring and cutting out.
