Micropana Cotton Sand

The Micropana Cotton Sand fabric is a fine needlecord made from 100% cotton, soft and very pleasant to the touch, perfect for making up comfortable garments with a delicate velvety finish. Its sand colour – neutral, warm and natural – adds brightness and is very easy to coordinate, making it a versatile basic for children’s fashion and casual wear.

Its very fine rib knit creates a subtle and elegant raised texture, retaining the characteristic feel of corduroy whilst offering a lighter and more refined appearance. With a weight of 145 gsm, this needlecord offers a lightweight structure, good opacity and a particularly pleasant handle, making it an excellent choice for children's clothing and mid-season garments.

It is made up from 100% cotton and has a width of 140 cm. Its combination of softness, lightness and texture allows you to create comfortable garments, whilst the fine rib knit provides a neat and timeless finish.

Suggested uses: children’s dresses, rompers, dungarees, trousers, skirts, blouses, shirts, lightweight jackets, baby clothes and sewing accessories.

The sand shade pairs particularly well with white, unbleached, camel, brown, terracotta, olive green, dusty pink or blue. You can also combine this needlecord with printed cotton fabrics, floral patterns, checks, lace trims, trimmings, pom-pom trims or wooden buttons to create unique and personalised garments.

Sewing tip: as this is a 100% cotton fabric, we recommend washing the fabric before cutting and making up to allow for the cotton’s natural shrinkage. When cutting, position all pieces so that the pile and rib knit run in the same direction to avoid visual differences in shade in the finished garment.
