Full details

The Meet MILK Tencel Lyocell Ponte Roma Double Stretch Knit is a premium, medium-to-heavy weight fabric designed for dressmakers and sewists who prioritize both structure and comfort in their garments. It is perfect for those crafting durable trousers, skirts, dresses, and soft jackets that require excellent stretch and recovery, though users should note that its 330 gsm weight is best suited for structured pieces rather than delicate, lightweight drapes.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fabric machine washable?

Yes, Tencel Lyocell blends are generally machine washable. Follow standard care practices for medium-weight knits using cold or lukewarm water.

Does this fabric require a serger/overlocker?

While a serger produces a professional finish, you can successfully sew this fabric with a standard sewing machine using a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch.

Can I use this for leggings?

While it has good stretch, the 330 gsm weight is quite heavy for tight-fitting activewear leggings; it is better suited for structured trousers or skirts.

Is the fabric sold as a continuous cut?

Yes, orders are sold by the metre and processed as a continuous length.

What is the primary benefit of Tencel Lyocell in this blend?

Tencel Lyocell provides a smooth, soft hand-feel, enhanced moisture-wicking properties, and greater durability compared to standard cotton knits.

Troubleshooting

Skipped stitches during sewing

Switch to a fresh ballpoint needle and ensure your presser foot pressure is correctly adjusted for a medium-weight knit.

Fabric curling at the cut edges

Ponte Roma is a stable knit, but if slight rolling occurs, use sewing clips or pins to stabilize the edges before stitching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality fiber blend offers durability and comfort
  • Stable construction makes it beginner-friendly
  • Excellent shape retention due to elastane content
  • OEKO-TEX certified for environmental and skin safety
  • Substantial weight makes it ideal for tailored casual wear

Cons

  • Heavier weight may be too bulky for summer-specific garments
  • Limited to a single color option in this specific range
  • Requires careful storage to maintain fabric integrity over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results with your Meet MILK fabric, follow these guidelines:

  • Pre-washing: Always pre-wash your fabric using the method you intend to use for the finished garment to account for any initial shrinkage.
  • Needle Selection: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 80/12 or 90/14) to avoid snagging or skipped stitches during construction.
  • Thread: Use a high-quality polyester thread to ensure the seams can flex with the stretch of the fabric.
  • Storage: Store the fabric rolled rather than folded whenever possible to avoid deep crease lines that may become set in the dense fiber blend.
  • Ironing: Use a medium-heat setting with steam. Test on a scrap piece first to ensure the elastane is not affected by high temperatures.
