Description

A true, inky black with no brown or blue cast, this 150cm wide woven has a fine ripple running down its length, a soft crinkled rib you notice more by touch than by eye. At 110gsm it's light and fluid, with a silky smooth handle and a liquid drape that falls straight from the shoulder rather than standing away from the body.

The blend of 47% rayon, 36% Tencel and 17% nylon gives you the cool, slippery feel of the cellulose fibres with a touch of nylon for resilience. In black the ripple becomes a play of light and shadow, so a plain dress looks interesting without any print to help it. The texture is meant to be there, so don't chase it flat with a hot iron: keep the iron on low, wash at 30° and skip the tumble dryer. It's a woven with no stretch, so cut with a little ease and let the drape do the work.

What to make with it

This is the black you'll reach for when you want something simple that still feels special. The fluid drape suits the Named Taimi Dress, letting the skirt swing and settle softly as you move, and the Tessuti Athina Top makes a lovely evening piece over slim trousers. For something more relaxed, the Wardrobe By Me Big Shirt Dress becomes an easy, swishy layer that hangs in soft folds.

It also works for bias skirts, wide-leg trousers with an elasticated waist and loose kimono-style jackets. Use a fine needle and sharp pins, as silky cloths can shift when cutting.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

Dry Clean - Any Solvent Except Trichloroethylene.
