Nailhead
Nailhead fabric is a durable woven textile characterized by its unique textured surface, often made from wool, providing both warmth and a sophisticated appearance.
About Nailhead
Nailhead fabric features a plain weave construction that creates a distinctive pattern resembling small, raised dots or 'nailheads'. This texture is achieved through a combination of warp and weft yarns, typically made from high-quality wool, resulting in a fabric that is not only visually appealing but also offers excellent durability and warmth. The fabric is commonly used in tailored garments, upholstery, and accessories, making it a versatile choice for both fashion and interior design.
