FR-644 – Black Shimmer Scuba Fabric

Description

Black Shimmer Scuba Fabric

This fabulous Black Shimmer Scuba Fabric has a black background accented with a dusting of silver metallic shimmer allover. Our Black Shimmer Scuba Fabric is a lofty double knit fabric of finely spun polyester fibers that create a super smooth hand, low luster sheen and a full-bodied drape. With 30% stretch across the grain and 10% vertical stretch, this unique knit is perfect for creating bra cups, bralettes, underwear, knit dresses,  knit apparel,  skirts, pants, un-structured jackets and heavier tops. It’s not just for underwear!

Scuba knit is created using a very fine gauge knitting machine and smooth thread. It also has a slightly spongy quality, similar to what you might see in a fabric for wetsuits, but it’s much thinner and more malleable.  It has a lot of body, and drapes well.

Colours Available:

Our Black Shimmer Scuba Fabric is 58-60″ (147-150 cm) wide made from 97% Polyester and 3% Elastanne/Spandex blend with stretch in the crosswise direction, from selvedge to selvedge. The fabric is black with a silver shimmery finish.

Uses:

The Black Shimmer Scuba Fabric can be used for bra cups for small to medium cups without any lining, and for large cups with a lining such as sheer cup lining behind it. It makes some wonderful and colourful bralettes and panty sets. Customers also use it for  lightweight tops, dresses and unstructured jackets.
