At Fabworks, we specialise in sourcing unique end-of-line, surplus, and small-run fabrics from leading mills and manufacturers across the UK and Europe. As many of our fabrics arrive without detailed mill care instructions, we've created these fabric care guides based on our team's experience and knowledge of natural fibres, fabric constructions, and textile behaviour.

These guides are intended as helpful recommendations rather than definitive care instructions. Every fabric is different, and factors such as fibre blend, weave, finish, dyes, and manufacturing processes can affect how a fabric responds to washing and wear.

We strongly recommend testing a small sample before washing a full fabric piece or finished garment. Ultimately, it is the customer's responsibility to determine the most suitable care method for their chosen fabric.
