Description Knitwit Double Knit Fabric Monaco is our classic best-selling double knit. An ideal heavier fabric suitable for hard-wearing pants and skirts as well as jackets. Cotton rich on the inside for comfort and polyester rich on the outside for wear. Polyester/Cotton             150cm wide           Medium/Heavyweight – 300gsm          Country of origin – Australia Knitwit Monaco is low stretch, by which we mean less than 25%. If your pattern is sized for a medium stretch (25-35%) fabric, you can still use it, but you may need to cut out a size bigger. Knitwit Monaco is a two way stretch, by which we mean the fabric stretches in 1 direction only, from selvedge to selvedge.

You will need stretch needles for sewing knit fabrics. Use Schmetz Stretch needles – 75/11 on fine knit fabrics, and 90/14 on other knit fabrics. Start each new project with a fresh needle, especially if the fabric contains cotton or wool. Blunt needles can leave holes on the stitching line. Vliesofix Bondaweb Tape is a must if you want to get more professional looking hems and neck edges. If you need more help, visit our sewing with jersey knit fabrics page.
