About World Fabric Database

What is World Fabric Database?

World Fabric Database is a global encyclopedia of fabrics, fibres, and textile materials. It is an independent, non-commercial information platform designed to help consumers, designers, seamstresses, manufacturers, and retailers understand the properties, care requirements, and alternatives for any textile material.

Editorial Policy

All fabric data is compiled from publicly available technical sources, industry standards, and textile science literature. Property scores represent general typical values and may vary based on specific composition, weave density, finishing treatments, and manufacturer. We clearly indicate confidence levels and note when properties depend on specific conditions.

We do not accept payment to alter independent assessments. Sponsored content is always clearly marked.

Disclaimer

All care recommendations on this website are for informational purposes only. Always follow the specific care label attached to your garment. Fabric properties can vary significantly between manufacturers, weave densities, and finishing treatments. World Fabric Database is not responsible for any damage caused by following general care guidelines without checking the specific garment label.
