Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt - Red Dimple Mesh Jersey Fabric - Durable

In this review of the Pico Textiles 5 Yards Bolt the bottom line is clear: this solid red dimple mesh is aimed at home sewists and small team outfitters who need a breathable, durable athletic fabric in consistent 5 yard bolts. The reviewer found the fabric's honeycomb dimple on the face and flat back make it especially comfortable for hot-weather sportswear, while the medium weight polyester holds up well in repeated use. If you want a straightforward mesh for soccer, basketball, football jerseys or gym clothes, this bolt simplifies yardage planning and sewing.

Key Features

• Highly breathable: The honeycomb dimple texture on the front improves airflow and helps garments dry faster during activity.
• Made for sports apparel: The fabric is well suited to creating jerseys and uniforms for soccer, basketball and football thanks to its athletic mesh construction.
• Durable and wrinkle resistant: Polyester composition maintains strength and resists creasing after washing and regular wear.
• Easy to sew: The medium weight and stable knit make the material straightforward to cut, pin and stitch on common sewing machines.
• Consistent bolt sizing: Sold in 5 yard sections with a 60' width, each quantity ordered ships as separate 5 yard bolts for predictable coverage.

Who It's For

The Pico Textiles bolt is ideal for DIY sewists making team uniforms, coaches who assemble small batch kits, and hobbyists crafting athletic-style garments where breathability and durability matter. It suits projects that need a medium weight polyester mesh that stands up to repeated wear and machine washing.

It is less appropriate for couture garments or projects that require natural fibers, extreme stretch, or a printed surface; those users should consider cotton blends or specialty knits instead of this solid polyester dimple mesh.
