Description

Very, very soft is the headline here. This 100% cotton jersey has a beautifully smooth, almost buttery handle that makes it feel particularly lovely against the skin. The deep black is clean and versatile, while the 251gsm weight gives the fabric noticeably more body than a lightweight T-shirt jersey without making it stiff or bulky. It has 30% stretch across the width, with natural mechanical give along the length, so it feels comfortable while retaining a reassuring amount of substance.

This would be brilliant for T-shirts, long-sleeved tops, relaxed dresses, skirts, soft trousers, loungewear and children’s clothing, particularly when comfort is high on the agenda. Being pure cotton, you get that soft, breathable feel without synthetic fibres or elastane in the composition. At 115cm wide it is narrower than many modern jerseys, so do bear that in mind when working out your meterage. Black jersey may not be the flashiest fabric in the cupboard, but when it feels this good, you'll reach for it time and again.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
