Melange Jersey
Melange jersey is a versatile knit fabric with a blended colour effect that adds subtle texture to everyday clothing. Made from a cotton elastane blend, it offers a soft feel with stretch and flexibility, making it a practical choice for sewing comfortable garments for the whole family.
At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of melange cotton elastane jersey fabrics, with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified options. The softly blended colours offer something a little different from plain jersey, while remaining easy to coordinate with other fabrics in your handmade wardrobe.

Why choose melange cotton elastane jersey?
The blended colour effect adds visual interest without the need for a print, making melange jersey a useful option for both simple wardrobe staples and more detailed sewing projects. The elastane provides stretch and recovery, helping garments move comfortably with the body.
When choosing your fabric, check your sewing pattern's recommendations for stretch percentage, recovery and weight. These details can vary between fabrics and will help you achieve the fit you're after.
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.
