How to Buy Fabric by the Yard in Los Angeles (Online)

How to Buy Fabric by the Yard in Los Angeles (Online)

If you searched for fabric by the yard in Los Angeles, you probably want exact yardage, clear specs, and a cut you can trust — without guessing from a vague product title.

The Fabric Lot is an online LA fabric shop for makers, designers, and small brands. Here’s how to buy with fewer surprises.

1. Start with the project, not the fiber name

Tee, hoodie, tote, or upholstery each need different structure. Browse by project first:

Then compare weight, width, stretch, and finish on the product page.

2. Read the specs that actually matter

  • Weight — GSM or ounces (they are not interchangeable without conversion). See our GSM vs ounces guide.
  • Width — usable width changes how many yards you need.
  • Fiber + stretch — especially for knits and matching rib.
  • Construction — jersey, French terry, fleece, and ribbing are different fabrics. Compare knits here.

3. Swatch before a color-sensitive cut

Screens lie. Request a swatch of the exact color/option before you commit to many yards.

4. Order the exact option, then the yards

Pick color and construction on the product page, enter yards, and review the cart. Matching rib is a separate line — it is not auto-included.

5. Shipping, pickup, and first-order code

  • Free domestic shipping on orders $75+; other rates at checkout.
  • Los Angeles pickup is available on request — we do not publish a walk-in address. Email support@thefabriclot.com to arrange. Details: Pickup.
  • New customers: code WELCOME10 for 10% off.
