Dilip Textiles is a textile merchant at 74 Arab Street, Kampong Glam, Singapore, rated 4.8 from 66 Google reviews.
A textile merchant is easiest to use when you know the fabric, the width and the length you need. Ask how the cloth is woven or made, and whether it is cotton, silk, synthetic or a blend, since each one behaves differently when washed and worn. Check the colour against daylight rather than shop lights, and ask whether the dye is colourfast. Buying in whole lengths or metres usually costs less per metre than small cuts, so plan the project first. Regulars often bring a swatch of the fabric they already own so they can match colour and weight.
Arab Street is a long-running textile and craft street in Kampong Glam, so the shop draws people who are already browsing for cloth, clothing and gifts nearby.
