The Source
Karma Kraft

The Goods
Uber picky and can't stand any of those "generic" fabrics out there? Always dreamed of being a textile designer but never had the patience for the schooling? Or simply prefer being really, really unique? Another source, Karma Kraft, has arrived in the market of print-on-demand textiles. And all it takes is a little creativity and about two weeks to have your very own, one-of-a-kind fabric.

The Secret
This Raleigh-based online textile extraordinaire puts the creativity in your hands, enabling you to create your own fabric design in three easy steps. Choose from more than 15 base fabrics (cotton, linen, silks, blends) depending on your intended use. Prefer a fabric they don't offer? Karma Kraft will special order whatever you need -- with a minimum yardage requirement of course. And it all starts at just $20 per yard -- pricier than ordinary crafting fabrics, but a steal to get your very own one-of-a-kind textiles.





Things to Know
Professional designer or student? Let the team at Karma Kraft know and you'll get a special discount. Not the crafty (Krafty?) type? No fretting -- you can special order an item in your fabric (pillow, pet bed, tablecloth, nearly anything you'd like), and they'll make it for you. Talk about full service. And in case the environment is at the top of your concerns, Karma Kraft's facility passes the REACH regulations for environmental safety – so you can rest easy knowing your fabric is in eco-friendly hands.
