Monk's cloth

Monk's cloth is a loosely woven cotton or linen fabric made of coarser yarns that drape well.

The cloth is 100% cotton and can be purchased in a variety of colors at craft and fabric stores.

The cotton will shrink when washed, so should be pre-washed before so as to achieve the correct sizing before stitching.

Swedish dresses were decorated for traditional outfits with a variety of threads.

Today, cotton Floss and yarns are used on the fabric to create beautifully decorated items.
