Wool knit fabric for a dress with elastane.

Naturally punto milano, but...

Wool knit with elastane — it's an excellent companion for winter projects, combining natural warmth with urban elegance and everyday comfort. This fabric can wrap you in warmth without restricting movement.
Composition: 60% cotton, 35% wool, 5% elastane.
Fabric category: Wool knits.
Thanks to this combination of fibers, the material gains softness, durability, and elasticity, while the matte finish adds a subtle, classic character.

Properties

The type of weave/structure is interlock knit, with a solid, uniform structure that ensures an even look across the entire surface. The weight of about 312 g/m² makes it stable and warm, but not too heavy, allowing for both fitted and looser styles. A width of 175 cm gives designers great freedom — it's easy to sew in single pieces without excessive seams. The elastane in the composition guarantees a gentle, natural stretch, ensuring that garments made from this fabric fit well on the silhouette without losing shape after prolonged wear. The matte finish emphasizes the elegant, subdued character of the fabric, ideal for business casual styling and everyday looks.

Pattern and Color

This is a fabric with a solid, matte finish, offered in two subtle shades: chocolate brown and classic gray mélange. The brown radiates warmth and confidence, while the mélange gray introduces a modern freshness. Thanks to the matte surface, the colors appear deeper, and the interlock texture adds a delicate structure that beautifully highlights cuts and designs without a shiny effect.

Caring for the Fabric

To maintain softness and elasticity, wash at around 30°C on a gentle cycle, using mild detergents. Avoid high temperatures, bleach, and prolonged contact with moisture. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry, away from heat sources. Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature, preferably with steam and light fabric protection.

Applications

It works great in projects that need warmth and structure in an elegant version: classic-cut sweaters, fitted coats, and lightweight blazers, as well as outerwear with a more casual yet polished character. With a width of 175 cm, it's easy to sew large sets with warm finishes, while also easily creating fitted dresses with simple, tailored lines. This knit combines comfort, durability, and timeless style — an ideal base for winter colors and autumn-winter projects.
