Nonwovens are used in home textiles to create a strong and durable fabric that can withstand daily wear and tear. They are typically applied to the surface of a textile as an alternative to using a backing material for more decorative pieces. The materials make for durable and comfortable home furnishings such as rugs, runners, pillows, bedding, towels and even curtains. They can also be found on clothing made from woven fabrics such as T-shirts, shorts and dresses.

Nonwovens are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of ways. They offer an interesting alternative to traditional textiles such as cotton and linen. For one, nonwovens are typically made from fibers that have been processed to be soft, durable, and washable. This means they are more environmentally friendly than cotton garments or linen linens. Another advantage is their versatility. Since they are man-made materials, you can find them in a wide range of colors and patterns for any occasion. You can also use them as templates for your sewing projects, so you can create custom home accessories with your own designs. They are also easy to work with. Because nonwovens are man-made, they don't stretch like natural fibers, making it easier to sew them into wearable garments like socks, headbands, and tights without worrying about the fabric getting out of shape when you wear it.
