Charcoal Poly Cotton Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard - 60in Wide Roll

Our review of this charcoal poly cotton broadcloth explains who will get the most use from it and why the blend matters. This fabric is best for sewists seeking a lightweight, breathable lining or apparel cloth that balances comfort and practicality. The single biggest reason to buy is the 35% cotton, 65% polyester composition, which delivers a soft hand with improved wrinkle resistance and durability compared with pure cotton options, making it a reliable choice for everyday sewing projects and home textiles.

Key Features

• Blend: The 35% cotton and 65% polyester mix gives a comfortable cotton feel while adding polyester's strength and wrinkle resistance for longer-lasting items.
• Width: The 60in wide roll provides generous yardage for wider projects like skirts, curtains, or multiple tote bag panels without seaming.
• Weight and breathability: Lightweight construction allows good air circulation, making it suitable for linings and garments worn all day.
• Beginner friendly: The fabric handles predictably at the machine and is forgiving of minor sewing errors, ideal for those new to garment construction.
• Easy care: Machine wash warm and tumble dry low or air dry to keep the fabric looking fresh and maintain color and texture.
• Versatility: Appropriate for home textiles, linings, lightweight apparel, and craft projects where a balance of softness and durability is desired.

Who It's For

This charcoal broadcloth is aimed at hobby sewists, home sewers, and small makers who need an affordable, versatile fabric for linings, skirts, tote bags, and lightweight home textiles. The lightweight, breathable nature makes it a good option for garments and projects intended for frequent use or warm conditions.

Those who need heavy-duty upholstery fabric, very thick outerwear material, or a fully natural fiber may want a different choice; the polyester content means this is not a 100% cotton textile and will perform differently in dyeing and some specialty finishes.
