The Minerva Core Range Airtex Mesh Stretch Knit in Neon Yellow is a high-performance, lightweight fabric designed for makers who prioritize breathability and comfort in their activewear or casual garment projects. Featuring a 127 gsm weight and a 150cm width, this stretch knit offers excellent versatility, though its semi-sheer mesh structure requires careful consideration regarding layering or lining depending on your intended final application.

No, this is a mesh fabric and is semi-sheer. You may need to use a lining fabric for complete coverage.
The fabric is cut from the roll and supplied as one continuous piece based on the number of metres ordered.
While it is breathable, it is designed for general athletic wear; ensure it meets your specific requirements for chlorine or salt water resistance before use.
Use a ballpoint or stretch needle to ensure the fabric fibers are pushed aside rather than pierced.
The knit construction allows for mechanical stretch, typically most effective along the crosswise grain.
Reduce your presser foot pressure and use a walking foot or a ballpoint needle.
Ensure your needle plate and feed dogs are free of burrs and use a fresh ballpoint needle specifically designed for knit fabrics.
To maintain the integrity of your garment, always pre-wash the fabric according to the manufacturer’s recommendation of 40 degrees. When cutting, lay the fabric on a flat, stable surface and use pattern weights to prevent the mesh from shifting. For sewing, a zig-zag stitch or an overlocker (serger) is recommended to allow the seams to stretch along with the fabric. Store the fabric in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the neon color saturation.
