Some of you may remember when we launched Poly Crepe de Chine as a limited offering back in fall of last year. Many of you fell in love with this fabric. Hard. Since retiring it, we've received so many requests for it to come back that we decided it was finally time to bring Poly Crepe de Chine in from the cold and make it part of our fabric family!

Poly Crepe de Chine is a lightweight 100% polyester crepe fabric that is perfect for projects that require a soft drape and a delicate weight. This exciting addition features crisp, bright colors that hold up very well to multiple washings.
