Running Stitch Border - Coral has a high thread count of superfine alternating yarns of zingy orange-red and crisp white, which give a depth of colour and a finely striated linen look (not just one flat all-over tone). This expert weave of the two complementary yarns together produces a beautiful washed pastel coral shade , as deliciously fruity as a Cantaloupe melon!

Properties:
This fabric has all the benefits of both linen and cotton!

The fibres and the weave form a slightly textured yet still soft, lightweight, stable fabric which will allow for neat tucks, pleats and other fine details, as well as gentle feminine gathers.
The close weave of zingy orange-red and white together resembles a finely sewn running stitch appearance (horizontal). An additional bonus feature of a vertical 2.5cm border sits on one selvedge, allowing for your own creative expression and unique projects.
