Perfectly Imperfect Notice:
This Tubular Sweater Knit is offered at a reduced price due to minor imperfections.
While the fabric quality, stretch, and performance remain excellent, fold marks are present throughout the fabric. With careful pattern placement and thoughtful cutting, these markings can be worked with easily.
We recommend purchasing a little extra metreage to accommodate the fold lines. This has been reflected in the reduced price.

Yorkshire Independent Clothing Manufacturer
This collection of dressmaking fabrics has been sourced from a Yorkshire clothing manufacturer, with 30 years experience producing quality, British-made fashion garments, who has now decided to retire.
With their strong background in knitwear, this range is led by an excellent selection of knitted jersey fabrics, along with a well-balanced mix of woven dressmaking material, including denim. They were originally produced for UK garment manufacturing, and so show the hallmarks of commercial-standard cloth - having good weight, a dependable handle and a well-finished feel. These are fabrics designed for commercial clothing production and will enable you to give your creations the ‘high street label’ and professionally-made look, wearing well over time and after repeated washing.
