Description
Because interlock has no recognisable reverse, it suits pieces where both sides show. At 150 cm wide its weight per square metre is 230 g/m². It is woven from 10 % elastane, 30 % polyamide and 60 % viscose.
Lavender stands between the poles: beside blue it reads warmer, beside red cooler. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Punta di Roma Lavendel is suitable for
- shirts and long sleeves
- leggings and trousers
- cuffs and finishes

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
