This Meet MILK Smooth Drape Tencel Lyocell Twill fabric in Warm Sand is ideal for crafters seeking a high-quality, versatile material. Its key benefit is its exceptionally smooth, drapey texture combined with the durability of a twill weave, perfect for garments and home decor. A potential caveat is its specific washing requirement of 30 degrees to maintain its integrity. This OEKO-TEX certified fabric, made from 100% Tencel Lyocell, offers a medium weight (213 gsm) and a generous width of approximately 155cm, sold by the metre as a continuous piece.

Tencel Lyocell is a sustainable fiber derived from wood pulp, known for its softness, breathability, and smooth drape. It's produced using an environmentally responsible closed-loop process.
While its drape is beautiful, beginners may find its fluidity requires a bit more care during cutting and sewing. Using sharp scissors, plenty of pins, and a walking foot can be helpful.
Always wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low, and iron on a medium setting. Avoiding high heat and harsh detergents will preserve the fabric's quality.
Yes, its breathability and smooth feel make it comfortable for bedding like duvet covers or pillowcases, provided it's cared for according to the instructions.
OEKO-TEX certification means the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.
You will receive one continuous piece of fabric measuring 3 metres in length and approximately 155cm in width.
Fabric is cut from the roll as a custom order and cannot be returned unless it is faulty or not as described.
Use a finer needle (e.g., size 70/10 or 80/12 Microtex). Ensure your sewing machine tension is correctly balanced and avoid pulling the fabric through the machine; let the feed dogs do the work. Consider using a walking foot if available.
Finish raw edges with a serger, zigzag stitch, French seams, or pinking shears to prevent fraying during handling and after washing.
Iron the fabric while slightly damp or use a steam iron on a medium setting. A pressing cloth can also help protect the fibers. Iron on the wrong side of the fabric where possible.
Color perception can vary based on monitor settings. If critical, consider ordering a swatch first. We aim for accurate representation.
This fabric does not require a 'setup' in the traditional sense, but proper preparation is key for successful crafting. Ensure your sewing machine is equipped with a suitable needle for fine weaves, such as a universal or microtex needle, and that you have appropriate thread. Test stitching on a fabric scrap before beginning your project.
