TENCEL Ponte Knit
Maroon
meetMILK

$35.00 per yard

This medium-weight TENCEL brand lyocell blend ponte knit from Danish high-end fabric manufacturer meetMILK has a lovely drape, a luxurious soft touch, and perfect recovery.    This TENCEL ponte knit in “maroon” will reflect more purple in bright light, and be a true red-based maroon in muted light, which is shown in the gallery picture along with Superior Threads “Sew Complete” in Cherry Red.  The fabric has a matte finish, and created using OEKO-TEX certified dyes.

TENCEL brand lyocell fibers are derived from sustainable wood sources and produced in an environmentally responsible closed loop system with low ecological impact.  The fibers have unique physical properties that lead to their great strength, efficient moisture absorption, enhanced breathability, and gentleness to skin.

meetMILK is a brand of sustainable fabrics determined to offer an alternative choice of materials for home sewers and makers who cherish high quality and eco-friendliness when choosing fabric for a handmade wardrobe.  The fibres and materials, as well as the production environments for the fabrics that we choose for the collections are all certified sustainable and/or eco-friendly with very low ecological impact.  The name meetMILK derives from the feeling we use to describe (some of) the difference between viscose and TENCEL fibers.   If viscose has the fluidity and texture of water, TENCEL is milk – with a more full, rich and ‘creamy’ texture.

Make Ideas

While this fabric can be used anywhere a medium-weight jersey is called for, it will shine when used for stretch trousers, wiggle-style dresses and skirts, and anything that leans heavily on excellent recovery.  This is the fabric used to create figure-hugging “yoga style” work pants.  Check out the other colors of TENCEL ponte knit that we offer.
