What is Cretonne Fabric?
- Cretonne is a kind of fabric that is primarily manufactured from cotton and has a simple weave and an unglazed design.

History

- The first cretonne was a sturdy, white fabric that was woven from hemp for the warp and linen for the weft.

Care Instructions
- It is important to note that you should not use hot water to wash it since doing so may cause the fabric to get damaged and even shrunken.
- It does not make a difference whether you wash it by hand or in the machine; either method is alright.
- However, you shouldn't hang it out in the direct sunlight since the sun's rays might potentially degrade the quality of the Cretonne.
