Merchant & Mills Tailor’s Chalk

Achieve flawless pattern marking with Merchant & Mills Tailor’s Chalk.

This high-quality, clay-based chalk is an essential tool for any garment maker, providing a reliable way to transfer pattern markings, darts, and alterations directly onto your cloth.

The traditional triangular shape is highly functional, offering three sharp edges that allow for fine, accurate lines. As the edges dull with use, they can be easily sharpened again with a blade, ensuring your measurements stay precise from start to finish.

This chalk is formulated to glide smoothly across a vast range of textiles, from the most delicate silks to heavy-weight coatings, without snagging or damaging the fibres. One of the primary advantages of this clay-based chalk is its easy removal.

Marks can usually be brushed away or lifted with a damp cloth once they are no longer needed. Available in classic white or blue for high contrast on different fabric colours, it is a much more dependable alternative to modern marking pens.

Made in the UK from China clay. We recommend that customers test on their fabric before starting work.
