For over 35 years, Cherrywood Fabrics has been hand-dyeing 100% cotton in Minnesota, creating a palette of saturated, nuanced colors with depth and character. Whether you're piecing a modern masterpiece or a vintage-inspired heirloom, Cherrywood offers a timeless foundation.

What Makes Cherrywood So Special?

Cherrywood’s signature look comes from its unique dyeing process. Unlike mass-produced solids, Cherrywood fabrics are hand-dyed in small batches, resulting in subtle variations and a rich, suede-like finish. The fabric is soft yet sturdy, making it ideal for quilting, garment sewing, home décor, and fiber art.

Here’s why Cherrywood stands out:

• Depth of Color: Cherrywood’s palette includes over 100 colors, each with tonal richness that adds dimension to your quilt.

• Suede Texture: The hand-dyed process gives the fabric a soft, brushed feel that mimics suede without sacrificing the ease of cotton.

• Made in the USA: Cherrywood is dyed and milled in Minnesota, supporting domestic textile production and sustainability.

• Versatility: Perfect for traditional piecing, modern designs, and art quilts alike.

Whether you're working with curves, appliqué, or intricate piecing, Cherrywood responds beautifully to the demands of your craft.

Tips for Sewing with Cherrywood

If you’re new to Cherrywood, here are a few tips to make your sewing experience smooth and enjoyable:

• Prewash with Care: Cherrywood recommends gentle washing with cold water and mild detergent. The fabric is pre-shrunk, but a light wash can help remove excess dye.

• Use Sharp Needles: The dense weave benefits from fresh needles and high-quality thread (Aurifil pairs beautifully).

• Press, Don’t Iron: Use a pressing motion to avoid stretching the fabric, especially when working with curves.

• Test for Contrast: Cherrywood’s subtle tones can shift under different lighting. Lay out your pieces before sewing to ensure your colors pop.
