Crewel fabric may be used to cover chairs or sofas and even made into table runners. All our fabrics in cotton and cotton-velvet are Upholstery grade. Crewel fabric finds use in making apparels also.Colors add to the variety of crewel fabric; besides white, you may find black, navy, maroon, cream, beige and other background colors used. Embroidery may be single color, 3 shades of one color or a range of colors (multicolor). Embroidery yarn is mostly wool; either 1-ply or 2-ply.
2-ply wool embroidery is costlier than 1-ply but provides a better finish as it is finer of the two and covers lesser surface per stitch. ArtSilk (synthetic silk) is also employed sometimes for embroidery yarn.
Prices of crewel fabrics may start around 20 US Dollars per yard with no possible guess on a maximum, depending on the fabric, amount of embroidery work and type of embroidery yarn (1 or 2-ply). Crewel Fabric is available in many widths with 52 inches being the most common. Length is 20 to 35 yards per bolt.

The word “crewel” is an old word that refers to the yarn itself, a two-ply wool yarn. Therefore, many experts in crewel embroidery believe that you must use this type of yarn in order to do “crewel embroidery”. Others prefer a looser definition of crewel embroidery that refers to the stitches and designs rather than the type of yarn.
