Heather (fabric)

Hey there kiddo! Do you know what fabric is? It's the material that is used to make things like clothes, blankets and curtains.

Heather is a type of fabric that is made by weaving together different colored threads. Instead of just one color, heather fabric has little bits of different colors mixed in. So it might look like a pale blue shirt has tiny bits of white and gray woven into it too.

It's kind of like when you mix paint colors together to make a new color. The more colors you mix, the more interesting your new color will be. Same thing goes for heather fabric!

Heather fabric is really popular because it adds a bit of texture and interest to an otherwise plain garment. Plus, since it has multiple colors in it, it can be paired with lots of different clothes and accessories.

So that's heather fabric in a nutshell, little buddy!
