What is Cambric?

  • Despite its name, Cambric is a woven, light-weight, and 100% cotton fabric.
  • Contrary to other textiles, cambric is woven in a unique manner. Short, twisted linen or cotton fibers are often used in the weaving process.
  • It is common for these fibers to be unbleached or undyed.
  • The size of the warp and weft threads in this fabric ranges from 60 to 80 (count).
  • When it comes to needlework and lacework, Cambric is a fantastic fabric (because it is highly dense). It is referred to as "batiste" when used in such a manner.
