Needlecord Stretch Fabric 21 Wales Ecru

This babyrib corduroy in Ecru has that distinctive fine rib structure you recognise straight away in the subtle play of light on the fabric. The soft, broken white tone looks warm and natural, with a matte finish that never feels shiny or plasticky. You can see the fine wales running beautifully straight across the fabric, closely spaced, giving it a refined yet robust look. The stretch in the width means the fabric drapes beautifully and follows the contours of your body without resistance.

What is this babyrib corduroy fabric

Babyrib corduroy, also called needlecord, is a woven fabric with narrow, closely spaced ribs, in this case 21 wales per inch. This makes the structure finer and more subtle than heavier corduroy types, and that's exactly why it works so well for clothing projects where you still want some lightness. The fabric is woven in twill weave, which creates that distinctive diagonal structure underneath the ribs and gives it a beautiful, sturdy drape. Thanks to the elastane content, the fabric holds its shape through regular wear and washing, and it offers movement without losing its fit. The soft finish also makes it comfortable against the skin.

Uses and projects

This babyrib corduroy fabric works for all sorts of sewing projects because of its fine structure and stretch, from casual to more refined pieces. Think about:
