Napped Polyester-Cotton Sheeting Fabric
This printed, plain weave fabric weighs over 170 g/m², containing less than 85% polyester staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, and features a napped finish on one side. It qualifies as 'sheeting' per statistical note (b)(ii) due to its weight, plain weave, and square construction with fine yarn counts. The napping provides a soft, brushed texture ideal for apparel linings.
