The base fabric of this textile is Stretch Knit Crepe - Riga, composed mainly of polyester and elastane with a weight of 180 gr/m2 and a width of 150 cm. Its solid printed color is Old Gold Brown with CMYK values of 27 43 67 17. This secondary color evokes elegance, maturity, and rusticity, being a neutral tone that combines well with a wide range of colors, such as creams, grays, and olive greens.

It is important to note that this fabric is printed with the solid color on one side only using digital textile printing, which means that only one side of the fabric is printed with CMYK ink to achieve the desired color. This does not mean that the fabric is dyed, but rather that it is a printing technique that allows for precision and detail in the print.

Regarding the general characteristics of the base fabric, its elastic and grainy texture stands out, making it very attractive for fashion garments with movement. As mentioned in the attributes, the fabric is suitable for making a wide variety of garments, from dresses and jumpsuits to t-shirts, skirts, and pants. Its matte finish makes it especially suitable for high-quality clothing.

On the other hand, the fabric must be cared for properly to maintain its quality and durability. It requires washing at a maximum temperature of 40ºC, does not allow bleach, and can be dry cleaned, except for trichloroethylene. Ironing should be at a low temperature, and it is recommended to tumble dry with reduced heat.

Finally, this fabric is printed using sublimation technology, which involves the use of CMYK ink, transfer paper, and heat to transfer images or designs to the fabric. The ink turns into vapor and fuses with the fabric fibers, resulting in a print that is more resistant to washing and wear compared to other printing processes.
