Cotton Elastane French Terry - Black | 240GSM | OEKO-TEX 100 | Solid - 50CM x WOF

If you're looking for a fabric that can do it all, you've just found it.

Our European made cotton elastane french terry is one of those fabrics you'll keep coming back to. Soft, breathable, and incredibly versatile, it's perfect for creating handmade pieces you'll reach for season after season.

Crafted from a premium blend of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, this OEKO-TEX 100 certified french terry combines everyday comfort with reliable stretch and recovery. At 240gsm, it sits in that sweet spot between lightweight jersey and heavier winter knits, making it a fantastic choice for year round sewing.

The smooth outer surface gives your garments a polished finish, while the classic looped reverse provides the signature texture and comfort that french terry is loved for. Whether you're sewing sweaters, jumpers, joggers, dresses, skirts, shorts, kids wear, or relaxed loungewear, this fabric adapts beautifully to your creative plans.

The added elastane allows your garments to move with you while helping them retain their shape wash after wash. And because it's predominantly cotton, it remains breathable, comfortable, and easy to wear throughout the seasons.

Ethically manufactured in Europe using OEKO-TEX 100 certified yarns and eco-friendly dyes, this is a fabric you can feel good about sewing and wearing.
