Ponte Roma - Black
Ponte Roma is a double-knit jersey fabric and is a bit more stable to work with than single knit jersey.
This is a medium-weight Ponte Roma with a slight sheen. It's great for garments that require a bit more structure, such as dresses and skirts. It can also be used to make loungewear such as jumpers and joggers.

This fabric is priced and sold by the half metre. Multiple purchases will be cut in one continuous length (e.g. if you need 1.5 metres, add 3 to your basket).
If you need to check the colour or feel of the fabric, you can use my swatch me up service.
I recommend that you pre-wash your fabric before you start your project. Follow the care instructions and allow for 10% shrinkage just to be safe.
*If you are going to go rogue when washing your finished garment (guilty!), then I recommend testing it on a small piece first before you start.
