Cotton jersey and single jersey

Single jersey is light, soft and versatile. It is commonly used for T-shirts, long-sleeved tops, pyjamas, nightwear, summer dresses and children's garments.

With the right parameters, the knit can be prepared for further processes such as dyeing, printing, stabilisation or softening. Weight, composition, construction and finish all influence how the garment feels and drapes.

Elastane improves stretch and recovery. This option suits tops, leggings, hats and garments that need a closer fit or greater freedom of movement.

For close-fitting cuts, the fabric should recover after stretching. Selecting the right weight and stabilisation helps the finished garment retain its shape in use.

Jersey is available in cotton, viscose, bamboo, polyester and blended constructions. Cotton offers a natural hand, viscose a soft drape, and polyester or microfibre can suit sports and functional projects.

When enquiring, tell us whether natural fibre content, breathability, stretch, colour fastness, quick drying or durability is the priority. That helps us recommend a suitable option.
