Designed for fashion-conscious sewists and dressmakers, the Meet MILK Tencel Lyocell Ponte Roma is a premium, medium-to-heavy weight knit fabric perfect for structured yet comfortable garments. It offers exceptional durability, a soft hand-feel, and reliable recovery, making it an ideal choice for trousers, dresses, and jackets. While its 330 gsm weight provides great body and opacity, beginners should be prepared to use a walking foot or ballpoint needle to ensure professional results with this stable double-knit material.

Yes, its stability makes it much easier to handle than thin, slippery jersey knits, though it does require a ballpoint needle.
As with most natural and synthetic blends, minor shrinkage may occur. Pre-washing the fabric as you intend to wash the final garment is recommended.
It is ideal for soft, unstructured jackets or 'coatigans,' but it lacks the rigidity of traditional wool coating fabric.
This is a double-stretch knit, meaning it has comfortable give in both directions, allowing for a fitted, flexible garment.
The fabric is sold by the metre and is provided as one continuous piece if you order multiple units.
Switch to a new ballpoint or stretch needle and ensure you are using a stitch designed for knit fabrics.
Adjust your presser foot pressure if possible, or use a walking foot to ensure even fabric feeding.
Use starch or tailor's chalk to stabilize edges, or handle the fabric gently without stretching it while guiding it through the machine.
