FABRIC SAMPLE KIT

"Want to know what they feel like? Get Samples of All Our Fabrics"

Can't decide which fabric is right for your application? Want to see, feel, and test the fabrics before you decide? In this kit you get swatches of each fabric, along with specification sheets. Swatches are approximately 2x2 inches. Ni/Cu/Co tape, Hook & Loop, and Microwave Absorber not included in standard sampler, so if you need these, be sure to specify. If you need larger pieces for your testing, you can order as little as 1 linear foot of any material (see above).

Fabric Sample Kit (Cat. #SAMPLER) ................. $10.00
