Why is it that some fabrics that look similar vary enormously in price?
So much goes into a fabric that this question is hard to answer in just a few lines. Firstly, yarn qualities vary according to their composition and the way they are spun. Yarns that are evenly (or at least consistently) spun, that have no foreign fibres, that take dyestuffs the same way every time, are more expensive to produce. Dyestuffs that resist sunlight and cleaning processes are very much more expensive that the cheap ones on the market. Slow weaving fabrics like jacquards and tapestries will inevitably cost more to produce. Heavy fabrics that contain a lot of yarn will stand up to wear and tear better, as a rule of thumb but more yarn adds to the cost.
