The Minerva Core Range Cotton Velour Stretch Knit Fabric is an ideal choice for crafters and garment makers who prioritize both comfort and quality in their handmade wardrobe. Featuring a soft-touch surface and a durable 260 gsm medium weight, this fabric is perfect for creating elevated loungewear, tracksuits, and casual apparel.

Yes, as long as you use a ballpoint needle and take care to not stretch the fabric while feeding it through the machine.
Yes, the fabric is cut from the roll as one continuous piece according to the number of metres ordered.
We recommend a machine wash at 40 degrees to maintain the quality and softness of the cotton-polyester blend.
Yes, at 260 gsm, this medium-weight fabric is generally opaque and does not require a lining for most garments.
It is perfect for leisure-focused activewear like yoga pants or hoodies, though it may not have the extreme compression of synthetic-only performance fabrics.
Reduce the presser foot pressure on your machine or use a walking foot to prevent the fabric from stretching during the feed process.
Switch to a ballpoint or jersey needle; standard sharp needles may damage the fibers or fail to catch the knit structure.
Always press on the wrong side of the fabric and use a pressing cloth; avoid dragging the iron across the surface.
Before you begin sewing, it is standard practice to pre-wash your fabric at 40 degrees to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a rotary cutter or sharp fabric shears to ensure clean edges, as the knit structure can fray if cut with dull blades. When sewing, use a zigzag stitch or an overlocker to maintain the fabric's natural stretch across seams. Avoid using high-heat settings on your iron; instead, use a steam iron on a low setting or a pressing cloth to protect the delicate velour surface from matting.
