Turn up the color 🌈
6 oz cotton twill in bold and bright colors to energize and delight as the last of Maine winter turns to spring. Twill weave has subtle diagonal ribs, is durable and opaque, has a bit of drape, and resists wrinkles. This lighter weight suits warmer weather clothing.
A stack of Kobe Twill by Robert Kaufman fabric bolts lays on a wood table horizontally. Colors from top to bittom are Carnation, Punch, Persimmon, Grellow, Lime, Turquoise, Periwinkle, Black.
