The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 28th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
Knitted in Italy from a premium blend of viscose, polyamide and elastane, this substantial jersey has a smooth surface, a sophisticated gunmetal sheen and a weight that gives garments real presence. The viscose keeps it soft and comfortable against the skin, whilst the polyamide and elastane provide excellent recovery and shape retention.
At 367gsm, this is a heavier jersey with enough body for structured knitwear and elegant everyday dressing. It drapes beautifully without clinging, making it particularly suitable for trousers, dresses, skirts, jumpsuits and modern co-ordinates. The subtle metallic gunmetal appearance adds depth and interest whilst remaining versatile enough to pair with almost any colour palette.
This is the sort of Italian jersey that turns a simple pattern into something that looks far more expensive than the effort required to sew it.
