With the diagonal look of a summer rainstorm and just enough weight to be comfortable year-round, this is a fabric you'll reach for again and again. Durable, it retains some of its crispness when washed; this makes it perfect for so many uses including shirts, shorts, blazers, even children's clothes and household items (it's great for napkins!). It's lightweight and soft, wonderful for springtime. There's a light, almost-silver sheen that adds interest and excitement.
