Cambric Fabric

What is Cambric?

• Despite its name, Cambric is a woven, light-weight, and 100% cotton fabric.
• Contrary to other textiles, cambric is woven in a unique manner. Short, twisted linen or cotton fibers are often used in the weaving process.
• It is common for these fibers to be unbleached or undyed.
• The size of the warp and weft threads in this fabric ranges from 60 to 80 (count).
• When it comes to needlework and lacework, Cambric is a fantastic fabric (because it is highly dense). It is referred to as "batiste" when used in such a manner.

History 

• Originally, Cambric was a quality linen cloth that was first produced in Cambrai, France.
• printed cambric was used for bands, sleeves, and collars by the year 1595 in London.
• Egyptian or American cotton is used to make contemporary cambric, which is then calendered to give it a glossy finish on one side.
