🧵 What is Chambray Fabric?

Chambray is a plain-weave fabric woven with a coloured yarn in the warp and a white yarn in the weft. The result is a soft, subtle blend of colour that’s more textured than a solid but smoother than denim. Tilda’s version of chambray uses fine cotton threads that produce a premium finish and superior softness, making it perfect for delicate projects like baby quilts, blouses, linings, and accessories.

🎨 Colour Range

The Tilda Chambray collection is available in a wide selection of versatile and muted tones – from classic neutrals to rich jewel colours. Whether you're coordinating with florals, stripes, or other prints in the Tilda range, this chambray collection pairs beautifully with both modern and traditional fabric choices.
