POLYESTER INTERLOCK KNIT FABRIC - WHITE - 145 GSM

POLYESTER INTERLOCK KNIT FABRIC - WHITE - 145 GSM

This white polyester interlock, weighing 145 GSM and measuring 163 cm wide, stands out for its matte, distinctly textured surface and more compact, firmer character. The knit is smooth to the touch but does not have a slippery finish or a softly flowing drape. It drapes in a stable, structured way and retains its intended shape well. It is partly transparent, so the appearance of the white can change depending on the color of the layer beneath the fabric.

A matte surface and stable construction

The fabric is made from 100% polyester. It is medium in thickness, has a compact construction, and feels distinctly firmer, setting it apart from softly falling knits. The textured surface remains visible even in solid white, so the fabric does not look flat despite having no print. Its stable drape helps it maintain its shape, while the combination of a matte finish and distinct texture gives it a technical, orderly appearance. Partial transparency is an important part of its character and should be considered especially when the knit will be used without an additional layer or in a project where the background color will affect the appearance of the white.

Gentle stretch, airflow, and comfort

The interlock has slight stretch in one direction. The amount of give is limited, so the fabric maintains a more stable character than highly resilient knits. At the same time, it is breathable, allows air to circulate, absorbs and wicks moisture, and has temperature-regulating properties. This combination makes it suitable for athletic projects where airflow, rapid moisture wicking, and shape retention matter. The knit can be used year-round, and its structured drape works well with styles intended to retain a neat shape during use.

A white base for sportswear and sublimation

The white color works well both as a surface in its own right and as a base for sublimation. The texture remains part of the appearance after artwork is applied, so the print will not look the same as it would on a completely smooth knit. The fabric can be used for athletic tops and running shirts, among other applications, where airflow, moisture wicking, and quick drying have practical value. For sublimation, consider both the matte surface and the partial transparency of the white version, since both affect the final appearance of the color and artwork. The 163 cm width also provides a large area of fabric and makes planning larger design sections convenient.

Durability and ease of use

The knit is quick-drying, has low shrinkage, and has a low tendency to wrinkle. It retains its color and shape well after washing, which matters particularly in sportswear and other projects intended for regular use. The fabric withstands frequent washing and resists abrasion, pilling, and distortion. Resistance to stretching out further helps maintain its shape despite repeated wear. Combining these properties with airflow, moisture wicking, and a stable, textured surface produces an interlock with a distinctly practical character, suitable where both function and a neat fabric appearance matter.
