Description
A striking John Kaldor Portia ITY jersey with an abstract, painterly print sweeping across a black ground in teal, petrol blue, soft ivory and flashes of muted chartreuse. The irregular brushstroke shapes give the design plenty of movement without feeling overly busy, and the darker ground makes those cooler blues and greens really stand out. Made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, the fabric has a smooth, soft handle and a fluid drape that falls beautifully around the body.
Portia is an ITY jersey, short for interlock twist yarn, a construction designed to create a lightweight, comfortable polyester jersey with excellent stretch and recovery. This one has plenty of movement in both directions, making it particularly good for dresses, wrap dresses, skirts, tops, tunics and wide-leg trousers. The print looks especially effective in garments with gathering, draping or fuller skirts, where those painterly marks break up and move with the folds.

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.
