New To Jacquard Cable Knit?
Jacquard knit fabric uses the knitted construction itself to create pattern and texture rather than simply printing a design onto the surface.
This particular fabric has been constructed to create raised cable-style patterns reminiscent of traditional knitted jumpers, giving it plenty of visual texture and character.
The combination of polyester, viscose and elastane gives the fabric softness, flexibility and comfortable stretch, while its substantial weight makes it particularly suited to cosy garments.
It's a brilliant choice if you love the look of cable knitting but want a fabric that can be cut and sewn into your chosen garment.
