Frequently Asked Questions
- What are Italian knit fabrics best used for?
Italian knits are ideal for garments that require movement and softness — dresses, tops, skirts, and layering pieces. Heavier blends also work well for jackets or soft suiting.
- Are Italian knits easy to sew?
Yes. Use a stretch or ball-point needle and a narrow zig-zag stitch for clean seams. Overlocking the edges prevents fraying and gives a professional finish.
- Do knits shrink or lose shape?
High-quality Italian knits are engineered for excellent recovery. Pre-washing before cutting is recommended, but the elasticity and structure remain consistent over time.
- How do I care for Italian knit fabric?
Wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with mild detergent. Dry flat to maintain shape and avoid stretching. Low-heat press from the reverse side if required.
- What makes Italian knits higher quality than standard jersey?
Italian mills use advanced yarn spinning and finishing techniques to create smoother surfaces, stable stretch, and long-lasting colour. The result is a garment that feels refined and resists pilling and distortion.
- Can Italian knits be used for active or travel wear?
Absolutely. Their breathable, crease-resistant nature makes them ideal for travel pieces, soft trousers, or modern leisurewear that still looks polished.
