A Minerva exclusive, this gorgeous design is printed onto a beautiful quality fine sweater knit. Sweater knit is a loosely knitted fabric that gives the feel of a hand knitted garment. It has a lovely soft handle and is perfect for cosy, slouchy makes.

Our fine sweater knit is made from a blend of 95 percent recycled polyester and 5 percent elastane fibres, which gives this fabric a 70 percent stretch across the width (from selvedge to selvedge) and a 20 percent stretch down the length of the fabric.

At 200 grams per square metre, this fabric is classed as a medium weight, even though it is quite fine for a sweater knit. Even with its loose knit texture and fine properties, this fabric is still relatively opaque.

We recommend sewing this fabric with a new ballpoint needle for best results.

It is soft, beautiful to touch and will barely crease in your day to day wardrobe. We think it is the perfect transitional fabric for when you want a fabric with a cosy feel but don't want to be too warm.

It is the perfect choice for sewing cosy tops, dresses, sweaters, cardigans, skirts and more.

This fabric is POD (printed on demand), so please allow extra time for delivery. Once you place an order for POD fabric, our team will carefully print your chosen design, on your chosen base cloth, to your chosen size, with care. We pride ourselves on quality of materials, quality of printing and fast turnaround.

Because your fabric is made to order specially for you, please allow approximately 2-6 weeks for despatch of your order that contain POD fabric, however our turnaround is often much quicker. Please note this is only an estimate and to allow extra time during peak times.

If you are ordering other items at the same time and need those urgently, please place a separate order and those can be despatched from the Minerva warehouse with our usual speedy turnaround.

Please note, with print on demand fabrics, each individual order is its very own print lot. Identical to the concept of dye lots, this means it is highly advisable to order enough digitally printed fabric to complete your project at one time, to ensure all your fabric arrives from the same print lot. If two or more separate orders are placed, the fabric may vary.

Why choose POD (print on demand) fabric?

Print on demand (POD) is a more sustainable and conscientious approach to fabric. Every fabric is printed to order, which means we can focus on creating less waste, saving energy, and following ethical production practices.

Digital printing technology minimizes chemical and dye use compared to traditional screen printing, contributing to cleaner production processes.

The scalability of POD allows for small scale, local production, which not only supports local economies but also reduces the need for long distance shipping and storage.

By supporting and investing in POD, we take a significant step towards a more responsible, environmentally conscious fabric industry that is equipped to meet the challenges of our era.
