Description
## Fabric Overview
This organic cotton drill fabric combines dependable durability with a soft pastel powder-blue shade. Its tightly woven twill construction creates a smooth, sturdy surface with excellent stability, making it particularly suitable for utility garments and structured sewing projects.
At approximately 270 GSM, the fabric is a versatile midweight drill—substantial and fully opaque without the bulk of heavyweight canvas. It holds its shape well while remaining breathable and comfortable for everyday wear.
## How the Fabric Is Made
The fabric is woven from organic cotton yarns in a compact 3/1 left-hand twill, commonly known as a drill weave.
Its high thread density and pronounced diagonal structure provide strength, durability, and resistance to everyday wear. The smooth surface gives finished garments a clean, polished appearance, while the powder-blue colour softens the traditionally utilitarian character of cotton drill.

## Wash and Care
Pre-washing is recommended before cutting, as natural cotton may shrink during the first wash.
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Wash similar colours together and do not bleach.
Line dry where possible or tumble dry on low heat. Iron on a medium cotton setting from the reverse side.

Minor variations in colour, weave, and measurements may occur between production batches. The colour may also appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings.
