The Minerva Core Range Stretch Yarn Dyed Denim in Royal is an ideal choice for garment makers looking for a durable, medium-to-heavyweight material that combines the structure of classic denim with the comfort of elastane. This 255gsm fabric is perfect for structured projects like jeans, dungarees, and jackets that require ease of movement. While it offers excellent versatility, users should be aware that the indigo-based dye may bleed during early laundering, requiring careful preparation before sewing.

It features a moderate amount of elastane, providing comfortable "give" for everyday movement without becoming baggy over time.
Yes, it is very stable to cut and sew, though working with denim requires heavier needles and threads than lightweight cottons.
While standard polyester thread works for construction, topstitching thread is recommended for the iconic 'jeans' look on pockets and outer seams.
While it depends on your size and pattern, standard adult jeans typically require between 1.5 to 2.5 metres.
It is recommended to air dry to prolong the life of the elastane and prevent unnecessary fading of the indigo dye.
Switch to a fresh denim-specific needle and ensure you are using the correct stitch length for heavy fabric.
Wash the item inside-out and separately in cold water for the first several washes; consider a colour-catcher sheet.
Reduce thread tension slightly and ensure the fabric is not being stretched while feeding through the machine.
Before starting your project, it is essential to pre-wash the fabric to account for potential shrinkage and to remove excess indigo dye. Wash separately in cold water to prevent colour transfer to other garments.
