FAQs

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, but it is recommended that beginners practice on scrap pieces to get comfortable with the fabric's stretch and fluid nature.

Can I tumble dry this fabric?

It is recommended to air dry the fabric to preserve the integrity of the Lyocell fibers and prevent premature wear.

Does the fabric arrive in a single piece?

Yes, the fabric is sold by the metre and is cut as one continuous piece.

Is the Blue Mist color consistent?

The fabric is dyed with high-quality standards, though minor color variations can occur between different production batches.

What is the primary benefit of Tencel Lyocell?

Tencel Lyocell is highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and significantly softer than standard cotton, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

Troubleshooting

Skipped stitches during sewing

Switch to a specific ballpoint or stretch needle sized 70/10 or 80/12.

Fabric stretching out while sewing

Use a walking foot or reduce the presser foot pressure on your machine to minimize tension.

Seams popping when fabric stretches

Use a narrow zigzag stitch or a dedicated stretch stitch setting to allow the seam to flex with the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft hand-feel
  • Excellent shape retention due to elastane content
  • Breathable and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Eco-friendly fiber sourcing
  • Generous 160cm width for pattern layout flexibility

Cons

  • Requires stable sewing techniques to avoid neckline stretching
  • Medium weight may be too thin for heavy-duty winter layering
  • Requires gentle laundry care to maintain fabric integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your garments last, always pre-wash the fabric as you intend to wash the finished garment to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a 30-degree gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents. When pressing, use a low-heat setting and a pressing cloth, as high heat can potentially damage the elastane fibers over time. Store the fabric folded rather than on a hanger to prevent the weight of the jersey from stretching the fabric out of shape during storage.
