Product type
Rib knit is a type of knitted fabric characterized by its distinct vertical ribbing, which is produced by alternating knit and purl stitches. This structure allows the fabric to stretch in both width and length, making it highly versatile. Rib knit fabrics are commonly made from a variety of fibers, including cotton, wool, polyester, and blends, providing options for different applications and comfort levels.
| Material Composition | Cotton, wool, polyester, or blends |
| Weight | 150 to 400 grams per square meter |
| Width | Typically 30 to 150 inches |
| Stretchability | High stretch in both directions |
| Common Uses | Sweaters, cuffs, collars, and garments requiring elasticity |
When selecting rib knit fabric, consider the material composition, as this affects the fabric's stretch, durability, and comfort. Specify the desired weight and width based on the intended use, and inquire about the stretchability to ensure it meets your design requirements. Additionally, checking for certifications such as Oeko-Tex or GOTS can be beneficial for sustainable sourcing.
