Introduction:

Ticking is not only a satisfyingly sturdy striped fabric, this is authentic mattress ticking! Featuring a classic herringbone weave, ticking is classic French chic, equally suitable for home interiors or as a denim-like alternative for clothing. Ticking was traditionally used to cover mattresses because of its close weave making it super strong and hard-wearing and is more commonly used now for soft furnishings.

Colour:

This 100% cotton herringbone woven fabric sports the chicest stripes of alternating natural (ecru) and rich, dark ruby red. A  stylish combination that will sit perfectly with all manner of toile-de-jouy-type fabrics, natural linens and fabrics/wallcoverings with an essentially natural, country-inspired theme.

Properties:

Ruby Port is seriously stable, sturdy and hard-wearing, with a lightly textured, classic cotton canvas-like handle, with the drape and feel of quality medium/heavy denim (or drill/twill).

Uses/Applications:

Ruby Port looks oh-so-chic paired with Toile de Jouy fabrics, antique-style florals, and polka dots for cushions, blinds, curtains, etc. Think Cath Kidston and Jane Churchill-style interior design schemes. Depending on how you style your Chateau Stripe you can achieve very classic interior styles with that grand French feel, or go for a more relaxed shabby chic cottage style. Use any leftover scraps for shabby chic home accessories from door stops and draught excluders, to peg bags and lavender sachets. Team with vintage embroidery scraps for a delightfully shabby chic style.

Garment Suggestions:

Ticking is equally serviceable and hard-wearing for clothing too! With its denim-like properties create denim jackets with contrasting ticking stripe panels & matching skirts, oversized worker/shacket shirts, pinafore dresses, tunic tops, artist smocks, and so much more!

NB - This fabric comes with a dry clean-only care instruction. We strongly recommend conducting your own wash test (if you plan on anything other than dry cleaning) prior to cutting out. Fabworks will not be held responsible for the care of the fabric once in the hands of the customer.
