Fabric's Available

Fabric Stock Number	Fabric	Fabric Color Choices	Description
101	Silk Shantung	White Eggshell Bamboo	Stark White Silk Shantung - Dull finish with medium slub texture Off-white (leaning toward cream) Silk Shantung - Dull finish with Medium Slub texture Color is more toward beige - Silk Shantung - Dull finish with Medium Slub texture
102	Styrene	White	No Fabric/Vinyl Only - Finished with plain white tape on the top and bottom White Styrene is also used as the backing for all of our fabric shades This is a good choice for those wanting to cover a shade with their own fabric. (*See Laminated below)
103	Batavia Silk	Beige	More dominant slub texture - fabric tends to blend well with gold and green colors
104	Silk Elegance	Eggshell Bamboo Gray Camel Black	Silk Elegance is our most formal fabric. It can be used anywhere, but works great in more formal setting such as living rooms, bedrooms, and formal offices. Where the #101 Silk Shantung has a dull finish and medium slub, this fabric has a bit of a sheen and silk texture without the noticeable slub. The gray is a "silver/gray" More toward brown, with a hint of black threading Remember that black fabric does allow some light to penetrate. If you are wanting opaque, see #702
300	Paper	Plain	Untreated paper (Dulkote)
301	Parchment	Light Oiled	Light colored Oil-Treated Paper Parchment - Shade color does darken with time, much faster than other shades. When the shade is first made/purchased it is off-white and then mellows with age.
302	Parchment	Dark Oiled	We add a darkening agent to our oil to create this wonderful, soft, aged look.
400	Burlap	Natural	Yes, just like the burlap sack! This fabric is laminated to paper instead of styrene. Low light penetration.
506	Flax Adamo	Natural	Natural Earth tone - Heavy Flax texture - similar in nature to the Burlap, only better quality and allows light to penetrate.
507	Flax Erin	Natural	Natural Earth tone - Light/medium Flax texture - similar in nature to the Burlap, only better quality and allows light to penetrate.
508	CD Linen	Beige	Medium texture.
509	Linen	White Parchment Federal Blue Hunter Green Terra Cotta Mauve	Lightweight Linen - Very versatile fabric.
702	Black Paper	Black/Gold liner	Heavy Paper - Dull black outside with a Gold Foil interior - Finished with a black paper tape, top and bottom. This shade is completely opaque - Used many places for accent lighting. Looks great in office areas.
MRP	Mushroom Pleated	White Parchment Beige	Mushroom Pleat is a soft-gathered pleating. Pleating is made from a lightweight linen. Finished with a matching, double-fold, self trim.
Laminated	Customer Provided	N/A	You can provide us with your fabric. This allows you to have lamp shades in any color, pattern, texture or design you can imagine. Most fabrics work. Cotton/Polyester blends work best. 100% cotton needs to be pressed and rolled on a tube to eliminate the deep/dominate creases to de-laminate from the shade. Call with any questions, concerns, or to see how much fabric is needed for your shade(s). You may also provide us with trim for the top and bottom edge, or we can make a matching trim from the fabric you provide.
