The deep black of a moonless night, this french terry is especially coveted because of its color -- it's rarer to find dark colors of heavy fabrics, because they take so much dye! (It's using low-impact, fiber-reactive dyes like we always do, of course.) In addition to the appealing color, you'll appreciate the fabric because it's nicely soft and cozy and so incredibly versatile.

You'll love this fabric for athletic wear, casual attire, and so much more. There's minimal stretch, and it's great for so many forms of fabric embellishment: applique, fabric painting, embroidery, etc. It's reversible, too, for greater flexibility. This is a marvelous choice for baby clothes and accessories that are a bit outside the traditional pink, blue, and mint green (it's splendid for blankets, hats, light cardigans, gowns, etc), and many other items.

At 14.6 ounces per linear yard, the fabric weighs 8.6 ounces per square yard.

The picture's not true to color, simply because it's difficult to show the french terry weave on a black fabric -- it shows a flat black image. So imagine the true black while enjoying a hint of the weave, okay? Thanks!
