Functional jersey is built for movement: highly elastic, stable in shape and quick-drying. 240 g/m² at 145 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 15 % elastane and 85 % polyester.
A fabric in Black reads festive or everyday, depending on what you make from it. For shirts, dresses and children's clothes a knit is the obvious choice — it follows every movement. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Whatever shrinks later shrinks better before cutting than on the finished piece. Wash the way you will wash the garment, and dry it the same way.
How do I press a knit?
From the reverse, at moderate heat and without pulling. Direct heat on the face flattens the loops and robs the fabric of its handle. A pressing cloth between never hurts.
Can I combine different knits?
Yes, as long as the stretch is similar. A firm sweat beside a very soft jersey pulls the seam crooked. With larger differences a stay tape in the shoulder seam helps.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them. Jersey offcuts become cuffing, pocket bags, hair ties or appliqué. Since the goods do not fray, even small pieces work without finishing. Even strips of a few centimetres still make a loop or a label.
