This is a true black liverpool cotton knit. Liverpool knit has a pattern knitted into it, almost like a jacquard. The pattern isn't visible until you look closely. It doesn't have lycra, and the recovery isn't as good as a fabric with lycra. The fabric doesn't curl up at the edges like jersey does, so it's a great fabric for beginners. The fabric has a bit of transparency so you may want to line it. It's a great weight for tops, dresses, joggers, and skirts. It's a midweight knit.

The fabric looks gray because I lightened the photos, but it is a true black fabric. This fabric is sold by the half yard.

Width: 66" wide!
Stretch: widthwise 50%+, lengthwise 15%+
Transparency: a bit transparent, may want a lining
Weight: a bit heavier than light weight; would be great for tops, dresses, joggers, etc.
Drape: drapes very well
