Melange French Terry
Melange french terry is a versatile knit fabric featuring a subtle blended colour effect that adds texture and interest to everyday garments. With a smooth outer face and a looped reverse, it's a practical choice for sewing jumpers, hoodies, joggers and children's clothing for cooler weather.
At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of European sourced cotton elastane french terry fabrics in melange shades, with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification. The cotton elastane blend offers stretch and flexibility, making it well suited to handmade clothing designed for regular wear.

Why choose melange french terry?
The blended colour effect offers a little visual interest without relying on a print, making it easy to coordinate with other fabrics in your stash. French terry also provides a different finish from brushed fleecy, with its looped reverse rather than a brushed surface.
Before choosing your fabric, check your sewing pattern's recommendations for weight, stretch and recovery. These details can vary between patterns and fabrics, so it's worth making sure your chosen French terry is suitable for your project.
If you're deciding between shades or would like to feel the fabric before purchasing by the metre, you can order a swatch. Check individual product listings for exact composition, weight and certification details.
