Description
Description
Cotton twill is 190 GSM, 100% cotton and 140cm wide, woven with a fine diagonal rib across its face. The twill structure resists creasing and is more opaque than a plain weave of the same weight, yet it still presses to a clean finish. Buy it plain by the metre in natural white, or printed to order as the base for any PrintLab design.
What to sew with cotton twill
- Structured skirts
- Light jackets and workwear style pieces
- Tote bags
- Aprons
Twill, poplin or canvas
Twill sits a step below true bottomweight. For shirts and blouses, choose the lighter Cotton Poplin (115 GSM). For bags, cushions and upholstery that take hard wear, choose Cotton Canvas (330 GSM). Twill covers the ground between the two.
Printed cotton twill
Every design in the PrintLab catalogue can be printed on cotton twill by the metre. Making aprons or totes for a team, a cafe or a market stall? Upload your own artwork and print it on twill. Making softer Christmas stockings? See our Christmas fabric guide.
Cotton twill questions
Does cotton twill shrink? Expect 3 to 5% on the first wash. Pre-wash before you cut.
How should I iron it? Cotton setting with steam, pressed from the back so the diagonal weave does not flatten or shine.
What does 190 GSM mean? GSM is grams per square metre, the standard measure of fabric weight. 190 GSM is a mid weight cotton with body, lighter than denim or canvas.
Can I feel it first? Yes. Order a 25 x 25cm swatch from this page, or the Base Fabrics Pack to compare every print base.

Natural fibre bases are printed with reactive dyes, then steamed and washed, so the colour bonds with the fibre and the fabric stays soft and breathable. How reactive printing works.
