Interlock is knitted smooth on both faces and therefore firmer and more opaque than plain jersey. The fabric is 150 cm wide and weighs 335 g/m². It is made from 5 % elastane, 35 % polyamide and 60 % viscose.
Beige belongs to the natural shades: warm, calm and so unobtrusive that the fabric suits almost any project. Knits stretch — so sewing them calls for a ballpoint needle and a stretch stitch or an overlocker. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Punta di Roma Beige is suitable for
- shirts and long sleeves
- children's clothing
- hats and snoods
Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I need?
A jersey or stretch needle with a ball point. It pushes the loops aside instead of piercing them. A universal needle leaves small holes that later run into ladders.
Why does the cut edge curl?
Because knits are made of loops that relax when cut. That is normal and no fault. While cutting it helps to keep the fabric flat and to use a rotary cutter.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern and the fabric width. As a rule of thumb an adult shirt takes about twice the body length, less on wide goods. Add seam allowances and cuffing.
Do I need an overlocker?
Not necessary, but convenient. Everything works with a stretch stitch on a domestic machine — it only takes longer, since sewing and finishing stay two steps.
