Viscose Jersey Black, 96% Viscose 4% Elastane

Viscose Jersey Black

This black viscose jersey stands out for its deep, matte colour and wonderfully fluid drape, exactly as you see in the photo where the fabric hangs in soft folds. The surface has a fine, even structure with a subtle silk sheen that makes the black look especially rich. You can tell immediately this isn't thin, cheap jersey, but a fabric with body and a pleasant softness against the skin.

What makes this viscose jersey special

This quality is made from ring-spun yarn, a spinning method where fibres are twisted tightly and evenly into a fine, strong thread. This produces a smoother, more even weave than the cheaper open-end viscose jersey, where yarns are looser and slightly rougher in structure. Ring-spun yarn means less pilling, a finer hand feel and a fabric that holds its shape longer. You notice this right away in the soft, almost silky surface and the neat, even appearance of this viscose jersey. The fabric has a matte finish, fluid drape and stretches in all directions, making it ideal for garments that sit close to the body.

Applications and projects

Thanks to its fluid drape and sturdy, breathable structure, this black jersey works well for all kinds of sewing projects. Think of:

• Basic t-shirts and tops with beautiful drape
• Dresses that flow around the body
• Leggings with lots of freedom of movement
• Underwear and bralettes thanks to the soft hand feel
• Baby and children's clothing, also thanks to OEKO-TEX certification
• Loungewear such as joggers and comfortable sets
• Draping tops and wrap styles that benefit from the soft fall
• Combination pieces with lace or mesh for a luxe look
