Black Cotton Polyester Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - 60in Wide 20

In this review the reviewer looks at EOVEA's black broadcloth sold by the yard and finds it best suited for sewists and crafters who need a lightweight, easy-care lining or apparel fabric. The single biggest reason to buy is the balanced 35% cotton, 65% polyester blend that combines natural softness with durable, wrinkle resistant performance, making it a versatile choice for garments, curtains, and project linings without extra bulk.

Key Features

• Blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix offers softness and breathability from cotton with the easy-care durability of polyester for everyday use.
• Width and length: At 60in wide and supplied as a 20 yard roll, the fabric is convenient for large projects like curtain panels or multiple garments without joins.
• Weight and drape: Lightweight broadcloth gives a gentle drape that works well for skirts, linings, and bedding where a neat, structured look is wanted.
• Sew-friendly surface: A smooth hand and even weave make cutting, pinning, and stitching straightforward for both beginners and experienced sewists.
• Easy care: Machine washable in warm water and safe to tumble dry low or air-dry, the fabric resists wrinkles and keeps a fresh appearance with minimal fuss.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for home sewers making lightweight apparel such as skirts or workwear, crafters lining pouches or bags, and anyone creating curtains or bedding that need a breathable but structured textile. The broadcloth width is especially useful when you want fewer seams on wide window treatments or multiple garment pieces from the same dye lot.

Those who need heavy upholstery, thick winter outerwear, or a substantial midweight canvas should look elsewhere, since this material is intentionally lightweight and customers have noted it can be quite thin for heavy-duty uses.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Low-maintenance care: machine wash and tumble dry friendly with wrinkle resistance.
• Generous 60in width and 20 yard length reduce the need for piecing larger projects.

Cons
