Orcas Fabric by the Yard


  • Orcas fabric is made of linen and cotton. The napped quality gives the fabric a softness that belies its strength. So for snuggling into at storytime, it’s a winner. And you can be comforted by the fact that there is nothing used in processing this fabric that is known to harm humans – of any size.

    Abrasion: 40,000 Martindale

  • Three minimum order requirements for free shipping. Orders under three yards incur a $25 shipping fee. Fabric by the yard is not returnable unless defective.
  • Because dust and dirt cause fabric to wear faster, we recommend vacuuming regularly with an upholstery attachment. An annual professional vapor cleaning will keep your upholstered furniture looking its best. To minimize fading, avoid placing your upholstered furniture in direct sunlight or in front of a gas heater. Dark fabrics and natural fibers like cotton are most susceptible to fading.

    For isolated spot or stain: Blot stains or spills with an absorbent white cloth and distilled water only. Do not rub the stain into the fabric. If stain persists, a paste of OxiClean Laundry Baby Stain Soaker and distilled water can be sprinkled on stain. Gently rub the paste with a  dry cloth. Let sit for 10 minutes, then vacuum.  If the stain persists after three applications, do not continue. Contact a professional steam cleaner and advise them of the problem as well as the desire to have the fabric cleaned without harsh chemicals. Do not use chlorine-based bleach.
    Cushion covers to avoid shrinkage: Hand wash in cool-cold water. Air or line dry.
    Entire upholstered piece: Professionally vapor (steam) clean at high temp with low moisture to avoid using chemicals.
    Fabric: Can be machine washed on gentle cycle in cold water and tumbled dry on low setting. Maximum 8% shrinkage.

  • Washing removes a bit of the luster. When dry, you might need to brush the nap lightly with a light brush.
