Essex Speckled Cotton Blend E134-1911 Gelato

A soft neutral with playful flecks

This fabric features a subtle speckle effect—tiny bits of color scattered across a calm, grounded base. Because the fibers are yarn-dyed before weaving, the surface has gentle depth rather than a flat, printed look. Up close, the texture feels natural and softly textured; from a distance, it reads as an easy, versatile solid with personality.

The blend of cotton and linen keeps it breathable and comfortable, while a touch of spandex adds just enough flexibility to make it pleasant to wear and easier to sew. At 5 oz per square yard, it’s a lightweight-to-medium fabric with beautiful drape and everyday practicality.

Sold in ½ yard increments. Add 1 unit for ½ yard, 2 units for 1 yard, 3 units for 1½ yards, and so on. Multiple units will be sent as one continuous piece whenever possible.
