Since we have had some questions about our fabric thought I would do a post on the fabric that we use to make our flags. Quality is important to us and also to our customers. Kona Cotton has a high thread count of 600 x 600 and is considered a deluxe weight fabric. It has a high thread count giving it a thick meaty hand. A high quality cloth which is perfect for use in fine apparel and for home decorating. Kona Cotton is 100% cotton.
There are over 200 solid colors to choose from. Below is a picture of the 4 we use in addition to the white also. While all of our effort is made to represent each color accurately, all monitor settings are different so it may look different on your computer,
We have ordered fabric from Beverly’s online before and they are great to work with. They have the following on there website.
