Ice Fabrics Cotton-Poly Broadcloth Fabric by the Yard — White, 60" Wide, 1.8 m, Lightweight & Durable

Ice Fabrics Cotton-Polyester Broadcloth is a lightweight, 60" wide woven fabric that combines cotton softness with polyester durability for apparel and home projects.

This white broadcloth from Ice Fabrics is a reliable, easy-care textile sold by the yard in continuous lengths — here offered as a 2-yard cut at 60 inches wide. The fabric blends natural breathability with synthetic strength, delivering a crisp drape that works equally well for shirts, dresses, bedding, or soft furnishings. Built to withstand repeated laundering and maintain colour and hand, it suits makers who want a predictable, versatile base material.

How does this broadcloth perform for everyday garments?

The cotton content gives a comfortable, breathable feel next to skin, while the polyester improves shape retention and reduces shrinkage. Its light 100 GSM weight and smooth finish create a clean silhouette that presses well and layers easily under jackets or accessories. Ideal for both casual and more tailored pieces.

• Lightweight, crisp drape for shirts, blouses and dresses
• Minimal shrinkage and improved resilience from polyester
• Easy to cut and sew — suitable for beginners and pros
• Machine washable; colourfast for repeated laundering

Can I use this fabric for home decor and bedding?

Yes — the broad 60" width reduces seams on projects like curtains, pillowcases and duvet covers, while the clean white tone provides a neutral base. The fabric's tight weave gives decent opacity for lined curtains and a smooth surface for tailoring bedding items. It performs well for light-use upholstery and decorative accents.

• Wide 60" width minimizes joining for large panels
• Smooth surface for crisp pillowcases and sheets
• Works with lining or interlining when extra opacity is needed
• Durable finish stands up to regular washing

What are the practical care and handling tips?

Treat this cotton-poly broadcloth like most blended shirting fabrics: wash on a gentle or normal cycle with similar colours, tumble dry low, and press with a warm iron if needed. The fabric resists fading and keeps its hand after care when laundered properly. Pre-washing is recommended if you plan to use it for fitted garments to account for minimal initial movement.

• Machine wash with similar colours; tumble dry low
• Warm iron to restore a crisp finish; avoid high heat
• Pre-wash yardage before cutting for precise fit
• Available in continuous lengths up to 50 yards

How does the fabric’s construction affect sewing and finishing?

The balanced cotton-poly blend and fine 0.19mm thickness produce a stable, low-fray plane that is forgiving to stitch adjustments and seam finishes. It presses cleanly, making topstitching and pleats hold shape well. Because it is lightweight, choose appropriate needles and seam allowances to avoid puckering on delicate styles.

• Stable weave that cuts cleanly and frays minimally
• Use universal or sharp needles (70/10–90/14 depending on pattern)
• Suitable for both machine and hand finishing techniques
• 100 GSM weight makes it ideal for lined and unlined garments
