KING OF THE JUNGLE – COTTON JERSEY – 95% COTTON 5% ELASTANE – 146cm WIDE

A wonderfully playful cotton jersey featuring lions and lionesses wandering through a colourful tropical garden.

Set against a soft muted sage green background, the design combines warm golden lions with an abundance of tiny flowers, tropical leaves and botanical details in plum, pink, yellow, white and deep green.

The combination of the cheerful jungle animals and densely scattered florals gives this print loads of character without feeling overly childish, while the cotton-rich jersey construction makes it soft, comfortable and stretchy – perfect for clothing and everyday wear.

New To Cotton Jersey?

Cotton jersey is a soft knitted fabric rather than a traditional woven fabric, which gives it natural flexibility and stretch.

The addition of elastane improves its stretch and recovery, helping garments move comfortably with the body and retain their shape.

Cotton jersey is particularly popular for T-shirts, dresses, children's clothing, leggings, lounge wear and other comfortable everyday garments.
