Next week, Thursday the 13th of May, is Ascension day, a national holiday in the Netherlands. Our Tootal Fabrics head office will be closed. We will be open again on Friday, May 14th. You can still order your fabrics online in the meantime!

In the Netherlands there is a tradition on Ascension day that has seeped into the Dutch culture. That is the tradition known as ‘dauwtrappen’, which literally means ‘treading the dew’. A lot of people wake up at dawn to go for an early morning walk or cycling tour. This traces back to a tradition from the distant past when people used to wake up at 3 AM on Ascension Day, to walk barefoot through the grass and sing and dance, to celebrate the arrival of new life in nature. 

To get in the mood of longer, brighter and warmed days, we have a few fabrics for nature and good weather lovers we would like to share with you!

You can see and download our colour cards, so you can always have them at hand. But if you would like a better impression of the fabric, you can order a colour card or sample as well!
