    voile

    Airy, delicate cotton fabric with a soft drape. This is a slightly transparent fabric with a very smooth surface that is best suited for neckerchiefs and possibly aprons. Not as well suited to clothing unless these are to be very thin.

    Threads per decimetre: 366 x 368

    Cretonne - 121 g

    cretonne

    Slightly stiffer cotton fabric with a slightly drape. Smooth but with slightly coarser threads than the thinner fabric, not transparent. The fabric is best suited for bodices other items of clothing and for neckerchiefs if you want these a little stiffer.

    Weight: 121 g/m2
    Threads per decimetre: 302 x 272

    100% cotton, plain-weave
    Printing: Digital printing with OEKO-TEX certified (water-based) inks. NOTE! Cotton is a natural material that can have small loose fibers in the weave that lie on top of the fabric - therefore small white dots may appear on the finished product. In this case, these are very small and few in number as the fabric is of even, fine quality. This can happen on basically all natural materials with this printing technique. 
    Production time:
     3-8 working days
    Production: Printed by CottonBee in Płock, Poland. Produced only to order. No water and minimal electricity and raw materials are used in production. The print is fixed with heat, not chemicals.
    Washing instructions: Hand wash only in cold water to avoid shrinkage – cotton is a natural material that can shrink significantly in hot water (approx. 2%). Do not use detergents with bleach. Products should be washed inside out if possible. It is advisable to sew the edges of your fabric before the first wash, to ensure that the edges do not fray.

    ATTENTION! All square neckerchiefs have some "dead" space next to the collar depending on its size and fabric quality, as these have different printing width - to make it a little more fun, this area is filled with a random calico print from Ovansjö. The fabric is great for toile or smaller projects. The neckerchief is therefore not cut out, you have to do that yourself as they are sent directly from Elobina. If you order more than one neckerchief/fabric these are printed on the same bolt of fabric and are therefore delivered as a single piece of fabric with some dead space inbetween the products. 

    If you have ordered neckerchiefs or fabric before April 2026 these have been printed on Cretonne - 121g, except for Blue Clover neckerchief which is printed on Voile - 77g.

  • Delivery time: Your neckerchiefs will be ordered from the printing house within 3 business days. After that, production takes about 3-8 days. The neckerchiefs are shipped directly from the printing house in Poland and takes about 3-5 business days.
