Vintage Poly Burlap Dark Orange, Fabric by the Yard

I bought this burlap in 3 colors and they all were above expectations. Very good quality and the colors were great.

the fabric is a little thinner than i thought it would be, but the color and texture was just what i was looking for to recover a chair seat. i liked it so much, i recovered another chair!

Wish it were as pictured

Everything was delivered as described. The only issue I had was a small snag in the middle of the material that I needed to cut around.

Used as press cloth for cider making.The fabric is polyester and therefore should be food safe and resistant to fruit juices.In practice it worked well. It is considerably more durable than the curtain mesh / tulle type fabrics we have used in the past. It did not tear, burst, or catch on sharp edges the way lighter meshes we have use in the past were prone to. In cleanup, minimal staining remained after high temp wash with oxyclean and regular detergent. The edges can be fused with heat; I did find that the hemming after fusing kept the edge better than just fusing. The fabric is denser than other meshes so may lead to higher pressures in the press; on cider day we yielded apprx. 5 gallons from 2bushels ~100lbs of orchard variety apples (macintosh, pink lady, granny smith, etc not wild/crab) using the bag in barrel method on a screw press, therefore I feel the density of the fabric did not significantly impact yield.

Loved the feel of the material. Made some patches but it wasn't woven as tightly as I'd hoped. The loose weaving left holes which, when sublimation a design on to the fabric. Left a choppy result. Wanted something a bit thicker that you can't see through.

I had to use FrayCheck on the corners of the cording, but I expected that. The Seafoam color matches the subtly variegated background I created for the needlepoint front perfectly.

Pretty sheer and sleek and "pretty" in that way. It is polyester and with that comes the benefit of it not fraying as easily but it does lose physical texture in that. Still, it is not a bad fabric. I'm just disappointed that the picture of the orange color looks more like a deeper, richer burnt orange and what I received is a much brighter, pumpkin orange. If you are expecting orange-orange and not what is pictured (which is like four shades darker and appears richer in the image) then you're set. But I am debating returning it. I did end up ordering a different color because this shade just does not fit well with the mood I'm trying to achieve with my art project. I may or may not keep it for something else I might think to use it for in the future... but I can't think of what it would be good for right now. It seems like it might be good for something costumey or perhaps Fall festive, if you want the more bright orange to compliment whatever you're working with.
