Swatch Sets


This printable Fabric Description.pdf is a handy document for reviewing all the fabric categories that we have available. (Sorry currently being updated.)

Color swatches include a 1.5" X 5" sample of every color available for a particular type of fabric. The color names listed on the included paper are in the same order as the stapled stack of fabric pieces, so it is very important not to take the samples apart and to hold on to the included paper. Swatch sets are not meant for long term use, if your swatch is more than a few months old, please check with us to see if it is still current. Ordering all color swatch sets at once usually isn't a good idea since many of them will be obsolete by the time they are used. Orders for swatch sets totaling $5.00 or less will have a $2.00 postage/handling charge. Regular postage rates will apply to orders over 5 sets (see Order/Contact button for shipping rates). Call us today to order color swatches.
Color accuracy will vary - if color is important, please order the swatch set.
