We have all sorts of different fabrics here at Calico Laine which can be used to create a multitude of different designs,  from elegant evening wear to sportswear! We strive to bring you the widest range of fabrics that are available! We shall try to help you decide on the fabric that will suit your needs best depending on what type of garments you are trying to create! Comfort is one of the main priorities when thinking about making Sportswear. Jerseys are one of the most popular choices as they have an element of stretch to them! Viscose Jersey- This is the ideal fabric to make into lightweight leggins or tops. It is a very drapey fabric which comes in a choice of different colour options too. Perfect for day to day wear and especially dance and gymnastics clothing as it will allow plenty of movement and also be very comfortable to wear! Also if you are looking to make a matte effect leotard, it can be used for this purpose as well! Cotton Jersey- This is also a t-shirt weight material. It has slightly less stretch than the Viscose Jersey and has a more rustic look to it! It is made from 100% cotton and will also be perfect if you wish to tie dye and add your own individual touch to your sportswear which no one else will have the same! It is also very wide at 160cm! and available in a brilliant selection of colours too! Of course we have a fantastic choice of Lycra, which is a stunning quality and perfect to be made into leotards as it has that beautiful stretch to it and the colours that it comes in are absolutely lovely and rich! Lycra has a matte shine to it and is quite thick to the touch. We also have a brilliant choice of Zips and Fasteners to complete your sportswear whether you are making leotards, dance dresses, or even tracksuits so come and have a look around at our amazing choice of fabrics. Don't forget we offer a sampling service so you can see before you buy to make sure that what you have chosen is perfect!
