Big Knitted Corduroy Jersey Fabric Clay Pink

Big Knitted Corduroy Jersey Fabric Clay Pink

This wide-ribbed corduroy jersey in Clay Pink has exactly that warm, dusty tone you're after in good corduroy - not too bright, not too grey. The wide ribs sit deep and stand out clearly, while the surface has a soft, velvety sheen that catches the light gently. Because it's a jersey knit rather than a woven corduroy, the fabric stays supple and moves with you, with a matte finish that feels a touch more luxe than standard corduroy.

What is this corduroy fabric

Corduroy, also called cordurette or cord, is traditionally a woven fabric with a ribbed structure. This version is a knitted variant, which means you get those recognisable wide ribs combined with the stretch and fluidity of jersey. That makes it easier to work with than traditional corduroy and more comfortable to wear. The blend of cotton with a small amount of polyester and elastane gives you a fabric that holds its shape well but still gives when you move.

Applications and Projects

This fabric works for a wide range of clothing projects thanks to its weight and stretch, from everyday casual to something dressier. The wide ribs give any project an instant recognisable, tactile look.

• Hoodies and sweaters with a luxury feel
• Trousers and joggers with stretch comfort
• Dresses and skirts with a soft drape
• Children's clothing, warm and durable
• Vests and cardigans for shoulder seasons
• Matching sets of top and bottom
• Accessories like bags or pouches

Direction of the ribs

The cords run across the width of the roll, from selvage to selvage. Thanks to the four-way stretch and supple drape, you can often use the pattern lengthwise too, depending on how you layout your pattern pieces. Take care when cutting so the rib direction matches your design in the finished piece.

Material and Properties

The fabric is made with combed cotton yarn, which gives a smoother and stronger thread than uncombed cotton. It's midweight, breathable and has a matte, silky finish. The four-way stretch makes it comfortable for garments that need to move with you. This fabric is OEKO-TEX® certified, which means it's been tested for harmful substances.
