Zweigart Satin Royal fabric

Today I’ve added a new product to my website: Zweigart Satin Royal fabric.

This fabric is perfect for Mountmellick embroidery. It is a heavy-weight cotton satin jean, or cotton sateen. It has a lovely fine weave, and a beautiful sheen.

It is 175cm or 69″ wide. I have it available by the metre, as fat quarters (50 x 86cm), and fat eighths (50 x 40cm).

I have used Satin Royal for the two new projects in the revised and expanded edition of “Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature” and I love it! It has a lovely feel to work with, and because of its very fine weave, you have a lot of choice of where to put your needle. The sheen is perfect for Mountmellick work, where the sheen of the fabric is supposed to contrast with the completely matt thread.

I also still have my other fabric, the polycotton sateen, available. This is still a wonderful fabric, at an excellent price.

If you have any questions about either of these fabrics, please just ask.
