Nylon/ rayon blend lightweight double knit fabric in black with a lace-like, knitted paisley design. It is matte in daylight but has a slight sheen in low light from the nylon content. Fabric feels soft and smooth, and is especially smooth and slippery on the inside. It is very drapey, with just a touch of structure. This fabric "glides" over skin rather than sticking to it. Slightly translucent, but you might not need a lining if making a top. Suitable for drapey cardigans and blouses, camisoles, tees, or dresses and bottoms (may need lining or wear over a slip). I was told this fabric also contains a little silk but I can't confirm if that's accurate. Although it's thin, it also feels relatively sturdy.
