Roc-lon Navy Ticking, 5 Yards
This navy Roc-lon ticking is listed as 100% cotton, 44/45 inches wide, and medium weight at 245 GSM. The five-yard precut is the better choice when a project needs more fabric than a short accent or small sewing job, such as coordinating several home décor pieces.
Best for: Sewists who want a longer navy cut in the stated medium-weight fabric. It was selected for its clear fiber content, width, weight, color, and precut length. The provided listing details do not specify care instructions or shrinkage, so verify those before cutting or washing.
Roc-lon Navy Ticking, 3 Yards
This option shares the listed Roc-lon specifications: 100% cotton, a 44/45-inch width, and 245 GSM medium weight. Its three-yard precut is better for projects with a more limited fabric requirement than the five-yard version, while keeping the same navy color choice.
Best for: Buyers planning a smaller sewing or décor project who prefer not to select the longer cut. It was selected as a useful length comparison within the same stated fabric type. The available product information does not establish exact finished-project dimensions; measure pattern pieces and allow for seams and matching stripes.
Roc-lon Red Ticking, 5 Yards
This five-yard Roc-lon precut is the red alternative in the listed 100% cotton, 44/45-inch-wide, 245 GSM medium-weight fabric range. The longer length is better suited to projects requiring more continuous yardage, while red offers a different color direction from the navy options.
Best for: Buyers seeking a larger cut of red ticking for sewing, quilting, or home décor. It was selected to provide a color and length comparison. Product details supplied here do not state shrinkage or a crease-resistant finish for this specific listing, so do not assume those properties without checking the current listing.
Fanfanwin Navy And Ivory Ticking, 5 Yards
Fanfanwin lists this fabric as 100% cotton, approximately 5 yards long and 45.28 inches wide. Its navy-and-ivory striped pattern is described as evenly spaced with a woven texture. The listing names upholstery, curtains, tablecloths, pillows, cushions, sewing, and crafts as possible uses.
Best for: Buyers who want a five-yard navy-and-ivory option with specific dimensions and a stated range of project uses. It was selected as an alternative to the Roc-lon precuts. The listing does not provide a GSM weight or shrinkage figure, so compare those details if weight or post-wash sizing is important.
Roc-lon Red Ticking, 3 Yards
This three-yard Roc-lon red precut is listed at 44/45 inches wide and made from 100% cotton, with a 245 GSM medium-weight description. Its product details also state a crease-resistant finish and 3–5% residual shrinkage. Named uses include pillows, café curtains, home décor, period apparel, quilting, and crafts.
Best for: Buyers who want the red color in a shorter cut and value the stated finish and shrinkage information. It was selected because it provides a direct three-yard comparison to the five-yard red option. Account for the listed residual shrinkage when planning measurements.
Buying Guide
How much fabric should you choose?
Compare the project’s required yardage with the precut length before buying. Three-yard cuts suit projects that need less continuous material; five-yard cuts provide more fabric for larger or multiple projects. Include extra yardage for seams, hems, pattern matching, and mistakes. The actual amount needed depends on the pattern and finished dimensions.
Which width and weight matter?
The Roc-lon options are listed at 44/45 inches wide and 245 GSM, described as medium weight. Fanfanwin lists a width of 45.28 inches but does not specify GSM in the supplied details. If a project depends on a particular fabric weight, compare the listing specifications rather than treating the products as identical.
What should you check before sewing?
Confirm the color, stripe pattern, cut length, and care information on the product listing. Only one supplied Roc-lon description states 3–5% residual shrinkage and a crease-resistant finish. Do not apply those details automatically to other listings. When shrinkage matters, check the exact product information and plan fabric preparation accordingly.
Is ticking fabric only for mattresses?
No. The supplied listings describe uses including pillows, curtains, upholstery, table coverings, quilting, apparel, crafts, and home décor. Match the fabric’s stated specifications to the project; the word “ticking” alone does not establish a particular weight, finish, or suitability for every application.
