STRETCH POLYAMIDE KNIT FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - MISTY BLUE - 210 GSM

POLYAMIDE INTERLOCK KNIT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - MISTY BLUE

Misty blue interlock falls softly and forms folds easily. Its smooth surface has a matte appearance, while the knit feels cool and delicate to the touch. Its substantial body is noticeable when folded. This combination of fluid drape and a full hand is worth using where the way the knit falls should be visible.

Surface, hand, and construction

The fabric weighs 210 GSM. It is compact, substantial, and double-sided, with a smooth surface on both sides. When sewing, the movement of the entire join, including the seam, is therefore important. Misty blue can be paired with light gray, cream, or navy. When choosing notions and accessories, compare their color both on the laid-out fabric and beside a folded edge. The smooth surface leaves plenty of room for the color itself and subtle differences between the selected shades. The knit is 160 cm wide. These qualities make it easier to maintain its smooth appearance and dimensions during regular use.

Drape, opacity, and comfort

The composition is 80% polyamide and 20% spandex. The knit is highly elastic, stretches in two directions, and recovers its original shape well. The fluid interlock drapes well while retaining shape and stability. It provides full opacity. Its delicacy against the skin makes the knit suitable for pieces worn close to the body. Its cool hand and pleasant contact with the skin also matter during fittings. The soft hand creates gently flowing folds. The interlock is suitable for year-round designs, including tops, shirts, and yoga clothing.

Cutting, sewing, and finishing

A drape test is best done on a larger piece: this will show how the fabric behaves when falling loosely and when gathered. Before securing the folds, assess the thickness of several layers and choose a finish suitable for that join. Pay attention to its substantial body when designing small pleats, hems, and narrow finishes. The thickness of a folded sample will show how much space the chosen edge will occupy. Make a test with the intended number of layers and stretch it as the particular piece will stretch in use. This will allow you to assess the stitch choice and thread tension. It also looks good in wider panels where its understated tone is visible. Pattern pieces should be positioned only after the length of fabric has been spread freely on the table. The weight of fabric hanging beyond the work surface can stretch it, so support will help maintain dimensions during measuring.

Care and durability

The anti-pilling finish helps limit pilling, while the knit itself resists abrasion and frequent washing. It retains its color and shape well, including after stretching. It has low shrinkage and wrinkles little.
