Jet black and wonderfully dependable, Changing Times is a classic Ponte Roma with the smooth handle, stability and comfortable stretch that makes this fabric such a pleasure to sew and wear. Knitted from a polyester and viscose blend with elastane, it has a soft surface, excellent body and enough give to move comfortably without becoming flimsy or clingy. At 270gsm, it sits firmly in that useful medium-to-substantial weight category.
This is a brilliant all-rounder for dresses, skirts, trousers, tops, coatigans, relaxed jackets and other softly structured garments. Ponte Roma is particularly friendly for newer sewists because it is more stable and manageable than many lighter jerseys, while still giving you the comfort of a stretch fabric. The jet black makes this one even more useful; smart enough for workwear, comfortable enough for everyday and unlikely to spend very long sitting forgotten in the fabric cupboard.
