A large selection of fabrics, ribbons & clasps
Here is an explanation of the fabrics, ribbons & clasps you can choose from, as well as the available colours, patterns & shapes.
When ordering, make sure to specify which material and which colour/pattern you want – as well as a backup colour/pattern when it comes to fabrics, if possible.
I do not carry any stock myself, which allows for a broader range of patterns and colours, but this means that the availability of a specific material depends on the manufacturer’s stock. I work with SELFMADE and KORPS. Pretty much anything on their sites (that is suitable for the garment in question) is available to order, but as their stock/availability changes I’ve included links to their respective websites so you can check what’s in stock when you’re ordering.
FABRICS
Options for every budget
From inexpensive polar fleece to luxurious wool, KOMUDESIGNS has options for everyone.
POLAR FLEECE
Polar fleece is light, soft, elastic and voluminous. It has a high thermal insulating effect, while the fabric is robust and durable. In addition, it has had an anti-pill treatment done to it to reduce pilling. For a winter skirt, this is the cheapest option. It keeps away snow and cold relatively well, though it performs best when it is dry out. The fabric is lab-tested and free of unhealthy chemicals. Purchased from Selfmade. Polar fleece – 100% polyester, 399g / m.
Advantages:
+ Cheap
+ Easy to wash
+ Good for those who are allergic to wool
Drawbacks:
– Even with the surface treatment, the fabric changes texture after some time.
– Not environmentally friendly
– Not as warm, nor as good at repelling moisture as wool
– Few patterned options
PRICE PER METER: 86 SEK (Some other prices as well)

RECYCLED WOOL
This wool fabric (wadmal) is a fabric designed to protect our environment. During the manufacturing of the fabric, the manufacturer has strict requirements for materials, dyes and other chemicals. The fabric is lab-tested to ensure that it contains no harmful chemicals.
In this woollen fabric, short fibres make the surface “rougher” after use and washing. Wool fabric in dark and saturated colours like black, red and blue can dry shed. Purchased from KORPS. 100% Recycled wool material, 365g / sqm.

FINE WADMAL (WOOL)
Fine wadmal is KORPS’ finest wool fabric, woven in medium fulled flexible twill where the weave structure is still visible.
