Roc-lon 44/45 Inches Wide 100% Cotton Woven Ticking, Striped Navy 15 Yard Bolt

The media could not be loaded. I originally purchased this fabric because I wanted make reusable, cloth Christmas gift wrappings. I knew they would look a bit "farmhouse" and primitive but I was fine with that. It works well with my vintage decor. I ended up loving it for wrapping material. I did not wash it and it is very stiff with starch but that worked great for wrapping. Some I made into flat wrappings and others into gift bags. The red color is perfect...a true medium cherry red...not scarlet....not wine. The white threads are really cream as you can see compared to the white crocheted throw. It is weighty and feels very durable. Even if I find I need to wash these wrappings from time to time, I know they will last for **years**. I even lined a wool cross-body bag I made with this fabric and the tight, heavy weave helped give the bag some body/structure. The stripe is truly woven in, not printed. I've now purchased MORE of this fabric...I don't even know what I'll make with it but it is so attractive, durable, and reasonably priced, I couldn't pass on the opportunity to have more in my stash. As I said, I haven't washed it so I can't speak to its color-fastness or shrinkage but, I suspect those won't be real issues.

Im using this to line large burlap totebags. I was worried the fabric would be too thin or too stiff, but its just right to add structure to the otherwise slippery outer shell. Colors are great, the fabric was very clean and came tightly wrapped in plastic for protection.

Roc-lon is a famous brand of good-quality fabric. This ticking fabric is no exception. It reminds me of the old mattresses that were made with it. It's thick cotton and has subtle natural flecks in it. I like that it comes in blue also. I will get a lot of use out of this fabric for my crafting, thinking mostly pillows. You get a generous amount for what you pay. I highly recommend it if you need ticking fabric. It's classic.

Bought to make outside covers for my chairs. Works. It is sturdy. I did use spray to waterproof.

I wanted a thick and sturdy fabric to use to cover the matboard for a framing project I was working on. The colors were perfect for the Italian vibe I wanted to portray. It was priced reasonably and high quality. I am excited to find ways to use the rest of it! My only note was that shipping took a bit longer than expected.

I’ve used Ron-Lon ticking in the past. I made dog beds with it and know it holds up to digging behavior and that the stripes help conceal dirty marks. Now, I’m using it to make a slip cover for a sectional couch. It is very stiff until you wash it. I wash about 5 yards of it at a time in hot water and dry on high heat to shrink and soften it. The red ticking is making the once beige couch look really good.

I made a vintage looking straw mattress with it to put in our local museum. The fabric was perfect.

I bought this to make a Christmas journal. It worked great. More of a heavy material ~ not soft cotton but that’s what I was looking for.
