Italian substantial hi-tech doubleknit - black

This wonderful, hi-tech doubleknit from a NY designer, made in Italy, is very substantial with a firm drape. It is similar to a heavier ponte, or a scuba knit, but has a bit more surface texture. It has a matte finish, and about 20% stretch in both directions. The color is jet black and it is a fashion-forward knit that is best for patterns that call for scuba/neoprene such as structured dresses, coats and jackets. Test first if you wish to hand or machine wash and tumble dry low.
