Italian ellipse yarn dyed jacquard knit - teal/black

This wonderful quality yarn-dye jacquard knit is a substantial and opaque two-layer knit with a soft hand and drape with a touch of body. It has about 20% stretch in each direction with nice recovery. The ellipse pattern (8.5" repeat) is knitted in to attach the top layer and backing, causing a matelassé puckering for a delightfully interesting texture. The colors are teal and black (PANTONE 18-4833 is close, etc.), and the backing is black but not really meant to be seen. Lining is not necessary for comfort or opacity. It is perfect for a cardigan, pullover, knit dress or skirt, tunic, tee, etc. Hand wash or TEST FIRST if you wish to try machine washing. Hang or lay flat to dry.
