COTTON RIB KNIT FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - PURPLE - 450 GSM

COTTON RIB KNIT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - PURPLE - 450 GSM

This purple 1x1 cotton rib knit with spandex combines a saturated color with a dense, substantial construction weighing 450 GSM. The regular ribbing is strongly defined, while the matte surface limits shine and gives the intense shade an orderly appearance. This allows the color and texture to define the garment's character on their own, without elaborate embellishments or additional patterns.

Saturated purple on a regular 1x1 texture

The high weight gives the knit a full, stable body that clearly showcases the rhythm of the ribs. The fabric remains resilient, however, so it recovers its shape after stretching and can move with more fitted styles. Full opacity allows the purple to be used across a larger area of the garment, while the matte finish keeps the saturated color from becoming overly decorative. In a simple cut, the knit texture alone is enough to give the surface a distinctive appearance.

For simple styles, leggings, and activewear

The purple rib knit can form an entire T-shirt or top if color is intended to be the main design feature. In more fitted styles, it also works well for leggings, and its resilience makes it suitable for activewear for yoga, dance, and training. In a children's collection, the fabric can be used for leggings and simple basics, varying the length and proportions of individual styles. If several styles use the same knit, vary the degree of fit and the area covered by ribbing rather than repeating an identical cut.

Purple works well with lavender in a tonal palette and creates a stronger, bolder combination with black. White brightens the saturated color, while yellow can serve as a contrasting accent in simple, modern designs. The shade itself is distinctive enough to work best in restrained constructions where texture and color do not compete with many additional elements.

A substantial construction and freedom when cutting

At a weight of 450 GSM, the knit retains a stable, resilient body and works well with fitted styles. Its width of 140 cm allows it to be used for larger pattern pieces as well as details. The fabric resists pilling, abrasion, stretching out, and distortion, helping the regular ribbing maintain an orderly appearance during use. The silicone finish complements the soft, stable surface and works well with the matte character of the purple.

Purple ribbing after washing

The rib knit retains its shape and color after washing and is easy to care for. The knit has a low tendency to wrinkle, and low shrinkage helps maintain the finished style's lines and original proportions. The regular ribs remain orderly across the entire surface, allowing the intense color to remain clearly defined even after repeated care cycles.
