The fabric is shot, so that there are different warp and weft colours running through each piece. This gives wonderful shimmering colour and a shine that is very attractive. The quality of the fabric is just lovely, great to cut and brilliant to stitch. I use Oakshott fabrics for my frogs, birds and now a new fox. It takes embroidery really very well and the weave is such that you can carry threads well.
The only problem I have with Oakshott is they are not cheap but you get what you pay for and the colours speak for themselves. Have a peep at www.oakshottfabrics.com for a great range of solids.
Of course these are not the only solids available but the colours are the best by a long shot. Kaffe Fassett does a very good range of shot cottons in a light weight with great colours but they are getting harder to find now as this is an old range. I also like Moda Grunge, just a little texture patterning makes a great mouse!
