COTTON RIB KNIT FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - APRICOT - 450 GSM

COTTON RIB KNIT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - APRICOT - 450 GSM

Apricot 1x1 cotton rib knit with spandex has a distinctly full, substantial construction resulting from its weight of 450 GSM. The warm shade softens the ribs' strong character, so the knit does not look austere despite its compact body. The matte surface and regular texture allow a design to be based on color and fabric structure alone, without adding a pattern or elaborate decorative details.

A warm color on dense, fully opaque ribs

The 1x1 ribs are distinct and clearly visible here because the dense construction gives them a stronger, orderly rhythm. The knit remains opaque yet resilient, allowing it to move in fitted cuts without feeling stiff. After stretching, it returns to its original shape well, retaining a regular surface. The apricot shade balances the high weight and gives the full body a warmer, visually softer character.

For simple everyday styles and fitted activewear

Over a larger area, apricot rib knit looks good in shirts and T-shirts where color can take the leading role without an additional pattern. The compact, resilient construction also allows it to be used for leggings and styles for yoga, fitness, dance, and training. In the children's part of a collection, it works well for leggings and other simple styles, especially when a distinct yet visually soft accent is needed. If several styles are made from the same knit, vary their length and fit, keeping the ribs and apricot color as a shared motif.

Apricot pairs well with white and caramel to create light, warm combinations. Brown deepens the palette and emphasizes an earthy direction, while navy or blue introduces cooler contrast that shows the knit's warm shade more clearly. The color itself is distinct enough to keep garment construction simple without adding elements that compete with the regular 1x1 structure.

A full body and resilient knit movement

The full body of this knit comes from its weight of 450 GSM, while a composition of 95% cotton and 5% spandex maintains the necessary resilience. The rib knit holds its shape well, is not particularly prone to pilling, and stands up well to both abrasion and frequent washing. In fitted styles, it also matters that the regular ribs return to shape after stretching and do not quickly lose their orderly appearance. The surface has a silicone finish that works well with the fabric's soft, matte character.

Apricot rib knit after washing

After washing, the knit retains its color well and returns to its intended shape. A low tendency to wrinkle helps maintain the ribs' distinct rhythm, while low shrinkage limits changes in the finished garment's dimensions. Easy care complements the knit's practical character, allowing apricot rib knit to be used in styles intended for regular wear as well.
