Pico Textiles 10 Yards Bolt - Cardinal Polyester Micro Mesh Jersey

Our review of the Pico Textiles 10 Yards Bolt - Cardinal Polyester Micro Mesh Jersey shows it is a practical choice for makers who need a durable, breathable athletic fabric at an affordable price. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of a true open weave knit and polyester resilience, which delivers both breathable performance and long-term durability for team uniforms, practice gear, and lining projects. Sold in 10 yard bolts, it is particularly useful when consistent yardage and repeatable color are important.

Key Features

• Highly breathable: The open weave knit with small holes allows strong airflow, making it suitable for warm-weather sportswear and active use.
• Durable polyester: The 100% polyester composition maintains strength and resists wrinkles so garments hold shape through repeated wear and cleaning.
• Easy to sew: The micro mesh is manageable on a home or industrial machine, reducing labor during construction and repairs.
• Sublimation friendly: The fabric accepts sublimation printing well, enabling custom designs and team logos with vibrant results.
• Sold by bolt: Each quantity represents a 10 yard bolt, which simplifies ordering consistent lengths for multiple garments.

Who It's For

The fabric is aimed at hobby sewists, small uniform makers, and coaches who need an affordable, breathable mesh for soccer, basketball, football jerseys, and gym apparel. Its ease of sewing and resilience also make it a practical choice for repairs and lining applications.

Those who need heavier knit or very large-hole athletic mesh for heavy-duty outdoor gear or specialized technical fabrics should look elsewhere; this product is a micro mesh with a lighter weight hand and small holes suited to apparel and light repairs rather than heavy industrial uses.
