Just had an email from Dragonfly Fabrics and am very taken with this

https://www.dragonflyfabrics.co.uk/product/cable-knit-jacquard-dress-fabric-teal/?mc_cid=0a3af08393&mc_eid=4591328e06

but wonder how easy it is to work with - and whether it would go very pilly

(Higgs and Higgs also have some)

I bought some of this and managed to pill it in the pre-wash by stupidly putting it in the tumble dryer. I have worn the jumper I made a few times and it looks nice but find it a bit sweaty as it’s totally synthetic. It looks nice and is easy to sew so don’t let me put you off. Just wash gently and don’t tumble dry!
