A lovely cotton knit with the unexpected appearance of a woven fabric. Fine, dark pinstripes run across a warm caramel-brown background, creating a subtle, understated pattern with a slightly tailored feel.
What makes this fabric interesting is the contrast between its structured-looking surface and its soft, comfortable knit construction. A versatile choice for everyday garments that look a little more polished.
Hand & Drape
Made from approximately 95% cotton and 5% spandex, this medium-lightweight knit weighs around 180gsm.
The surface feels relatively smooth, with a soft hand and fluid drape. Although it resembles a woven fabric, it has a knitted construction with slight stretch across the width only.
Unlike crisp cotton shirting, it falls softly against the body rather than holding a rigid shape. The stretch is subtle, so it should not be treated as a highly elastic jersey.
Suggested Projects
Ideal for relaxed long-sleeved tops, soft knit dresses, casual skirts, and comfortable matching sets.
The fine pinstripe pattern would also look lovely in a simple cardigan, a relaxed pullover, or a softly draped dress.
Especially suitable for projects that combine the appearance of classic woven stripes with the comfort of a soft cotton knit. For fitted garments, choose patterns that require only minimal stretch.
