Description
Knitwit Scuba Crepe Knit fabric is a very popular fashion fabric.
It is being used extensively in sheath dresses, in A-line dresses as well as in pants – both slim and wide legged. It is available in a wide range of colours.
Scuba crepe can be washed time and time again and still look brand new.
It has a crepe finish (high twisted fibre finish) on the right side of the fabric, and very good stretch recovery.
Medium stretch, by which we mean 35% stretch. If your pattern is sized for a low stretch fabric (less than 35% stretch), you can still use it, but you may need to take the garment in.
Two way stretch, by which we mean the fabric stretches in one direction only, from selvedge to selvedge.
If you need to, brush up on sewing with jersey knit fabrics.
[Spandex is the preferred name of spandex fibre in the US. It is known in Europe as elastane, and in the UK and Australia as Lycra®. Spandex is actually an anagram of expands.]
