ottoman fabric
Ottoman fabric brings instant structure and texture to any project. Recognized by its bold, flat horizontal ribs, this classic weave has a rich, tailored look that works as well on a statement chair as it does on a cropped jacket. If you want a fabric with body, depth and polish, ottoman is a smart place to start.
What Makes the Ottoman Weave Unique
The ottoman weave uses thicker filling yarns covered by finer warp yarns, creating raised cords that are wider than those on faille or grosgrain. The result is a heavyweight ribbed fabric that holds its shape and drapes with a crisp, sculptural quality.
Popular Uses
- Upholstery: ottomans, headboards, accent chairs and cushions
- Apparel: structured coats, jackets, skirts and dresses
- Home decor: pillows, drapery panels and table runners
What to Look For
Check the fiber content and weight for your project. Heavier ottoman rib fabric suits upholstery and outerwear, while lighter versions work for tailored garments. Consider whether you want a subtle tonal rib or a pronounced cord, and review care instructions before you cut.
