Fabric Availability, Special Purchases & Deals

Fabric Availability Categories

Every Wazoodle fabric has an availability designation that tells you whether it will be restocked, is limited, or requires a bulk commitment. Understanding these categories helps you plan purchases and avoid surprises — especially for production-critical fabrics.

Availability Designations
  • Reorderable: These fabrics are restocked when supplies run out and maintain a 98.2% stock availability rate. If you see a Reorderable fabric temporarily out of stock, it will be manufactured again
  • Limited Edition: Available while stocks last — may be limited by quantity, time, or fluctuating demand. Limited Edition fabrics may be manufactured again in small batches if there is sufficient customer interest and a minimum order quantity (MOQ) is met
  • Bulk Order Only: Not currently in stock in the Roll option, but can be manufactured again if the MOQ for bulk orders is met. The Yards option may still have some inventory available. Contact Wazoodle to discuss MOQ and manufacturing options
  • Discontinued: No plans to continue manufacturing these fabrics. Once current inventory sells out, they will not return
Stock Indicators on Product Pages
  • ✅ In Stock: Available for immediate purchase and shipping
  • ⚠️ Low Stock: Limited quantity remaining — order soon to avoid missing out
  • ❗ Out of Stock: Currently unavailable — check the availability designation to understand if and when it may return

Stock status changes rapidly. A fabric showing In Stock today may move to Low Stock or Out of Stock without notice. If you depend on a specific fabric for ongoing production, share your annual requirements with Wazoodle to help ensure availability. See Annual Requirements & Supply Chain Planning for details.

To find stock indicators and availability designations on a product page, visit the product page, select the Yards or Roll option, and look for the status icons. See Navigating Our Product Pages for a full walkthrough.


Requesting a Restock or Sharing Annual Requirements

If a fabric you need is Low Stock or Out of Stock, you have two options to signal demand to Wazoodle.

Restock Request
  • Use the Request to Restock Fabric Form on the website to submit a request for a specific fabric
  • Restock requests signal demand to Wazoodle's production team and influence restocking decisions
  • Particularly important for Limited Edition and Bulk Order Only fabrics, where customer interest determines whether a new production run is scheduled
Annual Requirements
  • Use the Annual Requirements Form to share your projected fabric needs for the year
  • Include fabric styles, estimated yardage, color requirements, and timing
  • Annual requirements carry more weight than one-time restock requests because they represent ongoing, committed demand
  • For full details on how Wazoodle uses your requirements for production planning, see Annual Requirements & Supply Chain Planning

Development Trial Lots (Dev Lots)

Dev Lots are fabrics that didn't meet their intended production specifications during manufacturing. They may have characteristics like different weight, width, stretch, or shrinkage from what was planned. Rather than discard them, we use them to collect valuable user feedback to improve future production runs.

What to Know Before Buying
  • Off-spec characteristics: Dev Lots may differ from the standard fabric in weight, width, stretch, shrinkage, or other measurable properties. The specific reason is disclosed on the product page
  • How to find the reason: On the product page, select "Yards - Dev Lot" from the Length dropdown — the reason for Dev Lot classification is displayed once selected
  • Piece sizes: Dev Lot fabrics may contain pieces no less than 18″ in length — they are not guaranteed to be continuous yardage
  • Below-cost pricing: Dev Lots are priced significantly below the standard retail price for the same fabric
  • Feedback requested: Wazoodle sells Dev Lots in exchange for your valuable feedback on the fabric's performance — this helps improve manufacturing processes
Dev Lot Rules
  • All sales are final — no returns or exchanges on any Dev Lot purchases
  • Dev Lots are available while supplies last and are not restocked once sold out
  • Performance may differ from the standard version of the same fabric — test before committing to a project

See Swatches, Samples & Testing Before You Buy to order standard swatches of any fabric before purchasing Dev Lot quantities.


Seconds Quality Fabrics

Seconds are fabrics with visible cosmetic defects identified during quality inspection. Unlike Dev Lots (which have off-spec measurements), Seconds have physical imperfections — but the underlying fabric construction and performance are typically unaffected.

What to Know Before Buying
  • Types of defects: Missed stitches, mismatched color areas, spots or stains, writing marks, small holes, manufacturing seams, or dirt marks
  • How to find the reason: On the product page, select "Yards - Seconds" from the Length dropdown — the specific defect reason is displayed once selected
  • Piece sizes: Seconds may contain pieces no less than 18″ in length — they are not guaranteed to be continuous yardage
  • Below-cost pricing: Seconds are priced significantly below standard retail for the same fabric
  • Feedback requested: Your feedback on Seconds quality helps Wazoodle refine manufacturing quality control
Seconds Rules
  • All sales are final — no returns or exchanges on any Seconds purchases
  • Seconds are available while supplies last and are not restocked once sold out
Ideal Projects for Seconds
  • Prototyping and pattern-making: Test your patterns and construction techniques at reduced cost before cutting into first-quality fabric
  • Practice and skill-building: Learn to sew with performance fabrics without the investment of full-price yardage
  • Hidden layers: Inner layers of multi-layer products (absorbent cores, backing layers) where cosmetic appearance doesn't matter
  • Personal use projects: Items where minor cosmetic imperfections are acceptable — pet products, cleaning supplies, household items
  • Testing fabric performance: Evaluate absorbency, waterproofing, stretch, or wicking characteristics at reduced cost

Grab Bags — Mystery Fabric Bundles

Grab Bags are mystery bundles containing an assortment of fabrics within a selected fabric style, curated by the Wazoodle team and color-coordinated for variety. They're the deepest discounts Wazoodle offers — but you don't get to choose what's inside.

What's Inside a Grab Bag
  • Fabric assortment: A mix of fabrics within the style category you select — you choose the style (e.g., Zorb, ECO-PUL, ProCool) but not the specific fabrics or colors
  • Possible contents: May include Limited Edition fabrics, newly released styles, discontinued fabrics, end cuts, Dev Lots, or Seconds quality cuts
  • Piece sizes: Each bundle may contain pieces ranging from ¼ yard up to 5 yards per piece — pieces are not guaranteed to be continuous
  • Color coordination: Wazoodle curates each bag for a complementary color selection, though specific colors cannot be requested
  • Each bag is unique: Every Grab Bag is individually assembled — you cannot request the same bag twice, though you can order another bag in the same fabric style category
Pricing
  • Grab Bags are priced per pound of fabric — unlike all other Wazoodle products which are priced per yard
  • 2 lb bags: 37.5% discount compared to standard retail pricing
  • 5 lb bags: 50% discount compared to standard retail pricing
  • Regardless of which fabrics end up in your bag, the price per pound ensures a significant discount over buying those same fabrics at full retail
Grab Bag Rules
  • All sales are final — no returns, exchanges, or refunds on Grab Bags or individual fabrics within them
  • Cannot request specific fabrics, colors, or contents
  • Cannot return individual fabrics you don't like
  • Cannot get the same bag twice

Grab Bag fabric may not represent first quality. Because bags may contain Dev Lots, Seconds, end cuts, and discontinued fabrics, do not use Grab Bag fabric as a reference for what a fabric looks or performs like at first quality. If you discover a fabric you love in your Grab Bag, order a standard swatch first before purchasing yardage. See Swatches, Samples & Testing Before You Buy.
