Minerva Core Range Neoprene Stretch Knit Fabric Mustard

Neoprene is the textile trend thats been appearing in most contemporary fashion collections recently. Invented by DuPont scientists in 1930, Neoprene (or polychloroprene) is a family of synthetic rubbers that is durable, flexible, insulative, wrinkle, water and UV resistant. For those who are unfamiliar with neoprene altogether, this material is traditionally used to create scuba diving and surfing wetsuits or laptop slip covers. This particular neoprene fabric feels very spongy and its weight makes it perfect for making fashion garments. We picture this fabric making tops, jackets, skirts and dresses that are either figure hugging, or hold a formed shape away from the body. This polyester and spandex blended neoprene contains a fantastic 4 way stretch and is completely opaque. The thickness of this neoprene is between 1mm and 2mm thick (each colour can differ slightly in thickness).
