Desert Kelp Midweight Poplin

We love this midweight poplin for so many reasons! It's incredibly soft right off the bolt, with that lovely smooth, crisp hand that makes poplin such a favorite. We especially love its midweight feel. It has just the right amount of substance to hold its shape beautifully while still feeling soft, breathable, and comfortable to wear. It's perfect for transitional weather sewing.

Choose this fabric when you want clean lines, crisp details, or a little extra volume in your garments. It's especially lovely for designs with gathers, pleats, puff sleeves, or structured shapes that need a fabric capable of holding their silhouette. A wonderful choice when you want something more substantial than a lightweight cotton but still soft and comfortable enough for everyday wear.

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang to dry. We recommend prewashing before cutting, as 100% cotton may shrink during its first wash. Press with a warm iron and steam to bring back that lovely smooth, crisp finish.
