Needlecord Stretch Fabric 21 Wales Black

Needlecord Stretch Fabric 21 Wales Black

This deep black needlecord stands out right away with its fine, subtly lustrous ribs that catch the light beautifully when the fabric drapes. In the photos you can see how smoothly the material flows around your fingers, with a dense structure that still feels light and supple. The matte black colour is deep and opaque, without any intrusive shine, making it spot on for anyone wanting to sew a timeless, elegant basic piece. The fine wales give the fabric just that touch of texture and visual depth that a flat black fabric usually lacks.

What is this needlecord fabric

Needlecord, also called babyrib or fine corduroy, is a ribbed fabric with a twill weave that creates the characteristic velvety soft ridges. With this 21 wales version you count six ribs per inch, giving a finer and more subtle rib than coarser corduroy types. The fabric is woven with ring yarn, which produces a smoother, stronger and more even thread than standard spun cotton. Thanks to the elastane addition, the fabric has stretch across the width, allowing garments to move comfortably without losing their shape. The soft finish and matte appearance make the fabric drape smoothly and feel pleasant against the skin.
