Checks

Checks combine horizontal and vertical lines, woven or printed, from small gingham to large plaids. This range includes cotton, wool and knitted checks.

Common uses include shirts, skirts, uniforms, jackets and co-ords.

Match the check at seams, and decide whether it should run on-grain or on the bias.

Printed fabrics should be washed separately in cool water for the first few washes, and ironed on the reverse. Test colour fastness on a small piece before a large production run.

Both. Yarn-dyed checks are woven in; printed checks are applied to the surface. See our cotton checks collection.
