This is a fantastic textured, medium weight sweater knit from Italy, an opaque yet breathable sweater knit with a black and white stripe (11/16" repeat). It is substantial with body in the drape and has a cottony, mini-popcorn-textured hand. Although it has 40% stretch in both directions it will be fun to play with directional stripes. This fabric is quite stable, and perfect for a cardigan, sweater dress or skirt, knit suiting, etc. Create a fresh and stylish garment that can be dressed up or down! Dry clean, or if you wish to hand or machine wash and lay flat to dry, please test first. 1.66 yds.
