F abric C haracteristics 242 Some fabrics in our line have unique characteristics that the consumer should realize when an order is placed. The label on our fabric swatches may give this information or refer you to the catalog. When you lo- cate the fabric number, refer to the Characteristic/Availability column for the number that corresponds to the characteristic described below. 1 Sofas and loveseats with a single back or seat cushion must be seamed since the usable overall length or width on conventional roll goods is 54”. 2 Natural cotton seed particles may appear. 3 Velvets and other pile fabrics will exhibit random crushing and shading.* 4 This fabric has been brushed for softness. A slight napped effect may be evident. 5 This authentic denim fabric has been dyed with natural pigments. As with jeans, some fading, color loss, and color transfer may occur with use. 6 This fabric has been washed to provide a re- laxed, loose and casual “slipcovered” appearance. 7 The puckered or wrinkled effect seen here is created by a seersucker weaving technique, and is not a defect. 8 The puckered or quilted appearance of this fabric is a result of a matelasse or double cloth weaving technique, and is not a defect. 9 This 100% cotton twill has been dyed using natural pigments, and has been washed and brushed for extra softness. 10 This fabric is woven with subtle irregularities which appear as knots or heavier yarns and are considered characteristic of the cloth. 11 This 100% cotton fabric has been washed for extra softness and a casual relaxed effect. 12 This thicker, heavy fabric will not upholster well on a style with detailing. 13 This fabric is created using a printed warp, which means that colors will be repeated at random throughout the pattern. 16 This item involves special charges. Please consult Ordering Information to properly price the product. 17 This item is a loosely constructed decorative trim and should not be used on seat cushions. Fringe trims can only be used on pillows. 18 This fabric has been piece- or vat- dyed. Some color variations will occur as a result of the process. 19 This fine velvet, comprised of 100% acrylic yarn, is woven to replicate the classic look of mohair wool. As with any velvet, crushing and shading will occur, and are to be considered normal characteristics of velvet. This fabric can be brushed to minimize such marks, but steam should never be used on any acrylic velvet.* 20 This fabric is made from 100% natural silk, hand crafted on manual weaving machines. Knots, slubs, and other weaving irregularities are the hallmark of natural silk woven by a traditional method, and are not to be considered as defects, but rather as proof of genuine silk created by artisans using time-hon- ored techniques. 21 This decorative fabric is restricted to use on accent or throw pillows only. Because it has been designed with only pillow applications in mind, it is not covered by the normal fabric warranty. 22 This luxurious, authentic velvet is made of 100% cotton. New, and more so with use, it will exhibit marking, shading and crushing, which are natural and desirable characteristics of all authentic pure cotton velvets, and not to be considered as de- fects.* * Velvet is a beautiful yet durable product. When made up on upholstery, it will get its unique appearance after some time due to its ability to recover with the natural humidity in the atmosphere. Pressure marks, rolling stripes and smaller irregularities should disappear in a ventilated and relative humid environment. 23 The appeal of wool-blend fabric is the fine hand and significant pile. Like other high pile fabrics with natural fibers, it may exhibit shade variations and some random crushing. Just like a fine wool coat or rug, this shading can be minimized by a light brushing with a soft brush.
