Curly Teddy Fabric

Curly Teddy Fabric by the Metre
Curly teddy fabric is a soft, textured polyester fabric with a curled pile that mimics the look of a teddy bear's coat. This category covers our range of teddy fabric, sold by the metre and available in a variety of colours and prints. The fabric is stretchable, machine washable, and holds its shape well, which makes it a practical option for garments and home textiles alike. Below you'll find the details on width, weight, and the kind of projects this fabric suits best.
Weight and Composition
This teddy fabric is made from 100% polyester with a weight of 210 g/m2, a grammage that sits in the mid-to-heavy range for pile fabrics. That weight gives it enough body to hold structure in a jacket or cushion cover, without becoming stiff. The fabric stretches, so it moves with the body in clothing, and it comes on a standard width of 150 cm. Because it's machine washable, projects made from it stay easy to maintain over time.
Colours and Finishes
The curly texture is the defining feature here: a looped, slightly shaggy surface that reads as warm and tactile rather than smooth. We stock it in a range of colours, including natural brown tones that resemble real fur, alongside other shades for those who want something less literal. If you're after a flatter alternative with a similar cosy feel, Burlington Fabrics is worth a look, and for something with more structure, Canvas Fabric Cotton covers sturdier weaves.
What You Can Make With It
Curly teddy fabric turns up most often in cold-weather garments and homeware. A few concrete applications:
- Winter jackets, gilets, and coat linings, where the stretch keeps the fit comfortable
- Cushion covers and throws that add texture to a sofa or bed
- Children's clothing such as pyjamas, hoodies, and soft toys
- Accessories like bucket hats, bag panels, and scarves
If you're building out a full home textile project, Blackout Curtain Fabric and Satin Poplin Fabric pair well with teddy fabric for contrast in texture, curtains in one room, teddy cushions on the sofa nearby.
Ordering: By the Metre, Samples, and Wholesale
You can order this fabric by the metre in whatever length your project needs, no need to buy more than you'll use. Not sure how the texture or colour looks in person? A fabric sample is available for a small fee before you commit to a larger length. For businesses or larger projects, wholesale pricing kicks in from 6 metres, and we also offer a 50-metre roll option for bulk orders. Everything ships from our warehouse in Tilburg.
A Practical Choice for Cosy Projects
Curly teddy fabric gives you a warm, textured material that works equally well for clothing, cushions, or children's items. With a 150 cm width, 210 g/m2 weight, and machine washable finish, it's a fabric that holds up to regular use without losing its softness. Browse the range of colours and order a sample first if you want to feel the texture before buying by the metre.
Is curly teddy fabric warm?
Yes. The curled pile traps air close to the surface, which gives it insulating properties similar to a light fleece. It's a popular choice for winter jackets, linings, and blankets for that reason.
What is curly teddy fabric made of?
This fabric is 100% polyester. The polyester fibres are looped or curled during finishing to create the characteristic teddy bear texture.
Can you wash teddy fabric in the washing machine?
Yes, this teddy fabric is machine washable. That makes it practical for clothing and cushion covers that need regular cleaning.
What width does teddy fabric come in?
Our curly teddy fabric has a standard width of 150 cm, which is wide enough for most jacket panels and cushion covers without extra seams.
Can I order teddy fabric by the yard or metre?

Is a fabric sample available before ordering?
