Frequently asked questions
What can I sew with this sweater knit?
Fabric Depot recommends it for blouses, dresses, blankets, pajamas and jackets. It is light-to-medium weight.
Does it stretch?
Yes: mechanical stretch. Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or serger so seams move with the fabric.
Is it see-through?
No, it is opaque.
How do I care for it? Should I pre-wash?
Care: Machine Washable. Synthetics shrink little, but a pre-wash removes finishing residue.
How do I keep sweater knit from stretching out?
Stabilize shoulder seams with clear elastic or tape, and use a walking foot or serger with light presser-foot pressure.
How is it sold and where does it ship from?
It is sold by the yard and ships directly from our partner Fabric Depot.
