About

Klickitat is a large format boucle fabric whose combination of softness and durability make it a great choice for upholstery. Our current inventory if a little less than one third synthetic fiber. It is one of 3 fabrics in our line with synthetic fibers. The color Ivory is all natural fiber and the other colors will soon be all natural as well.


Eco Facts

Klickitat is Oeko-Tex 100 certified, your assurance that the 12 classes of persistent toxic chemicals and the hundreds of individual chemicals with toxicity profiles from try-to-avoid to AVOID-at-all-costs (Thank you, European Union, for your requirements for toxicity stesting) routinely used in textile production are NOT in Klickitat.

The Fabric Name

Klickitat is a county in Washington State named after the Klickitat people, a Native American tribe of the Pacific Northwest who were active traders who served as intermediaries among the many tribes of the Pacific Northwest in trade.

It is also the name of an art noveau early ferry that operated in and around the San Juan Islands of Washington State for 80 years.


Uses

Why choose us?

We've done the work for you

Over the years, Patty and Leigh Anne dedicated tons of time researching ethical and sustainable production—how it’s done, and what the implications are to us (and to all living things)  and to our planet.  They even put it in their mission statement, a goal “to change the way textiles are being made” – kind of a reach for such an upstart little company, right?
