Knitted Fabrics
Single JerseyView Full Profile → |
|---|---|---|
| Knit / Weave Construction | Double-bed interlock gating (cylinder and dial), alternate needle knit | Single-bed weft circular knit, plain stitch |
| Standard Fiber Composition | 100% Combed Cotton, Cotton/Modal, Micro-Polyester | 100% Cotton, Cotton/Polyester, or Cotton/Spandex |
| Typical GSM Range | 200 - 300 g/m² | 140 - 220 g/m² |
| Weight Classification | Medium Weight | Lightweight |
| Typical Fabric Width | 58 - 66 inches | 60 - 72 inches (Tubular or Open Width) |
| Elastic Stretch Rating | Moderate | Moderate |
| Air Permeability / Breathability | High | High |
| Hand Feel & Texture | Exceptionally smooth, compact, and balanced on both sides | Soft, smooth face with subtle grain |
| Visual Surface Appearance | Identical fine wales visible on both the technical face and technical back | Vertical wales on face, horizontal semi-circular loops on reverse |
| Durability Rating | High | Good |
| Common Apparel Items | Executive polos, golf shirts, high-end t-shirts, baby bodysuits, athletic track jackets | Crew neck t-shirts, tank tops, polo under-layers, loungewear, baby rompers |
| Primary Advantages | Zero edge curling simplifies cutting and sewing; identical front and back surface; excellent shape retention; superior opacity | High air permeability; smooth surface ideal for screen and digital printing; excellent skin drape; cost-effective manufacturing |
| Technical Limitations | Heavier weight than single jersey limits ultra-hot weather utility; higher yarn consumption increases raw material cost | Natural tendency to curl at cut edges towards the face; prone to spirality/torque after washing if yarn twist is unbalanced |
