COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - BLACK - 340 GSM, WIDTH: 170 CM

COTTON FRENCH TERRY FABRIC - BLACK

This black French terry has a substantial hand and drapes softly across a larger area. The fabric is stable, and its right side remains smooth and matte. The underside reveals the looped texture of the wrong side. The fabric retains its shape well, and its gentle feel can be used in pieces that remain close to the skin.

Softness and knit construction

The French terry contains 100% cotton and weighs 340 GSM. Its construction is thick and compact, with full opacity. The fabric is pleasant against the skin and comfortable to wear. Its substantial body can be felt when an edge is folded. Examine a sample with several layers to choose the hem width and assess the thickness at a seam intersection. A larger piece, in turn, reveals the soft fall of the knit.

Matte black and edge finishing

The color can be paired with white, charcoal, or a distinctive accent color. When combining blacks, compare actual samples because texture and tone affect how the join looks. Rib knit trim creates a different surface from smooth French terry. The fabric is intended for year-round use. It is suitable for sweatshirts, pants, and children's clothing, among other uses. The looped underside can also be used in bathrobes. In all these applications, consider how the seam feels on the inside, matching the joining method to the fabric's substantial body and number of layers.

Fabric behavior, cutting, and sewing preparation

Loops are found on the inside, while the smooth right side has a uniform appearance. If an edge is turned back, the two textures will be visible alongside each other. The fabric is nonstretch, so ease for fit must be planned into the pattern. This applies to circumference measurements and openings through which the finished piece will be put on. The knit's stability makes it easier to maintain its position during cutting. Its width is 170 cm, which must be accounted for in the layout of the pieces. The French terry is suitable for sweatshirts, pants, and children's clothing, among other uses. Account for the width of 170 cm in the cutting layout, including allowances. Measure the knit in a relaxed state, support any fabric extending beyond the work surface, and test the movement of a sample seam before joining larger pieces. In designs such as bathrobes, make use of its soft inner side while ensuring a pleasant finish at areas of skin contact. The smooth surface remains easy to showcase in solid-color pieces.

Care and durability

A silicone finish has been applied. The knit retains its color and shape well after washing. It has low shrinkage, a low tendency to wrinkle, and resistance to frequent washing, pilling, and abrasion. Resistance to stretching out and distortion helps maintain shape during use.
