Barkcloth

Barkcloth is a medium-weight cotton fabric with a subtle woven texture and structured feel. Heavier than standard quilting cotton but still easy to sew on a home machine, barkcloth is a versatile choice for projects that benefit from extra body and durability. Most barkcloth fabrics are wider than quilting cotton—typically 54/55” wide—making them especially useful for home décor and larger projects.

This fabric is well suited for throw pillows, tote bags, table runners, curtains, and light upholstery, while also working beautifully for quilt borders, backings, and statement blocks. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, and prewash if shrinkage is a concern.
