Wonderful vintage Toscana yellow, gray and white striped ticking. It is a strong European fabric made around 1950 from twill weave. In the past these resistant fabrics for mattress covers were called "cutís" (from the French "coutil"). Perfect density textile for tablecloths and quilts. The yellow hues give a warm look to our projects.
