Description
Stretch denim in a dark pinky-red colour. It’s officially called ‘wine’, but I find that depending on the light it can either look like a very dark raspberry pink or strangely enough it can look more like a browny red ‘Marsala’ wine colour! The fabric has a beautiful sheen on its ‘right’ side, and is slightly darker on the reverse. Please feel free to request a sample first if you’d like to see the colour before ordering for your project.
This is a Lady McElroy fabric, so you know that the quality is going to be exceptional.
With 23% Tencel, this denim has a really lovely hand and, along with the 2% Spandex, will be very comfortable to wear.

CARE
It is recommended to always pre-wash your fabric prior to starting your project. I would also recommend overlocking or zig-zagging the cut ends before your wash your fabric to help cut down on fraying in the machine. Wash separately the first few times in case of colour run. Some suggest using a cup of white vinegar in your first pre-wash (use a cold cycle) to help lock in the dye.
To help avoid getting washed-out lines in your denim, I recommend pre-wetting the fabric and making sure it is completely open (not folded) before putting it into the washing machine. It also helps to not use fabric softener. Wash at 30 degrees
