Calico is a simple woven cotton fabric that originated as a printed fabric from Calicut, India. Calico is usually made from pure cotton, but, on occasions, can be mixed with synthetic material. It is uncoloured and has a slightly rough texture to it.
Calico is mentioned by historians before the Christian era, and praised by early travelers for its fine texture and beautiful colors. Calico is usually woven, although calico prints may appear on knits. Calico is a traditionally popular fabric for patchwork quilting and at Doughty's, we offer Loomstate and pre-washed/desized Calico.
