Elevate your handmade wardrobe with this Luxe Organic Cotton Bamboo Stretch Velour in timeless black.

With a buttery-soft velvet hand, a subtle sheen, and a fully opaque body, it’s designed to feel as good as it looks. Midweight with a medium drape, it offers 30% stretch across the width and 10% along the length, striking the perfect balance between comfort and structure. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant dress, a sleek bodysuit, a cozy cardigan, or a chic knit top, this stretch velour adds a touch of luxe to every project.
Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them.
Long-Term Care
Bamboo should be hand washed with cool water, or machine washed on the delicate cycle using gentle laundry detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not use chlorine bleach as it will yellow the fibers.
Fabric Tips
When pressing bamboo use a cool iron. Bamboo tends to be a bit shifty so use an extra sharp pair of shears or rotary cutter and pattern weights to cut your fabric.
