So who’s signed up for a gym membership this January? If it’s you, then we are very excited to announce the arrival of a new fabric that we think you will love.
This fabric is a must for all those designing for the trendy Athleisure market. With a double faced weave of Black on one side and White on the other, it offers a reversable finish for your gym leggings and tops.
The 230gsm non-see through weave has a great s-t-r-e-t-c-h while still fitting comfortably. What a way to look stylish while you work out and show off that toned body. And, if you don’t want to look like you’re heading off to the gym, simply wear the leggings on the Black side and wear with a casual top. It’s makes a very versatile outfit.
As it has a generous printable width of 147cm we recommend that you optimise every centimeter with a bold repeat pattern to yield the maximum from your cutting layout plan. We will print your design on the white side, resulting in a fabulous bright and bold print. All you need to do now is work on your design.

The processes involved in digital textile printing causes the original fabric to shrink. If you are printing scarves, the size of the finished product will be important to you. For example, if you have square artwork, you will be expecting your finished scarf to be square!
To get the printed fabric closer to the size you need, all fabric intended for scarves must go through an extra step to reshape it. Please allow extra time on your deadlines to allow for this process.
Let us introduce you to the …
The stenter is an enormous piece of machinery that has many uses, including coating our fabrics and reshaping scarf orders.
After travelling through a solution to soften the fabric, it then passes over a flat bed, gripped on the selvedge edges to pull it back into shape.
It’s a long and precise process that needs to be carefully monitored.
If you have selected to use our hemming service, we will check the stentered fabric for you before we begin to finish your scarves. If you are not using our service, it’s up to you to check the size BEFORE you cut out the individual scarves from the fabric length. We cannot re-size after your scarves have been cut out.
