COTTON RIB KNIT FABRIC - 170 GSM

COTTON RIB KNIT FABRIC - MOJITO - 170 GSM

This cotton rib knit is a versatile ribbed base for designs in which the fabric should combine a soft hand with a resilient construction. The regular 6x2 surface and matte finish suit simple styles where texture should be visible without dominating the entire design.

Softness and resilience from the construction

The fabric is made of 100% cotton, and its stretch comes from its ribbed structure. The knit recovers its original shape well, remains stable, and does not distort easily. The soft, pleasant, substantial hand allows it to serve as both classic trim and the main fabric in simple styles.

Rib knit in everyday clothing and activewear

The knit is suitable for T-shirts, tops, long-sleeve shirts, and leggings, as well as other wardrobe basics. Applications also include clothing for running, yoga, fitness, training, and dance. In children's designs, the fabric can be used for leggings and other simple styles. In an activewear collection, the same ribbing can appear in a top, leggings, and a headband, giving different styles a shared character without introducing another knit type. Full opacity also makes it a choice when the rib knit should cover a larger garment surface.

If this variant will be combined with another knit, match it to the fabric's actual shade. It is best to compare swatches and decide whether the design should be tonal or based on a more distinct contrast. This will keep the color combination consistent with the rib knit's actual appearance.

6x2 rib knit: from trim to larger garment sections

The 6x2 ribbing can be used for both classic trim and larger sections of simple styles when you want visible texture across the entire surface. The 150 cm width offers more flexibility than narrow ribbing, while the 170 GSM weight keeps the knit lightweight. The matte, ribbed surface with a silicone finish therefore suits designs in which one fabric should connect a detail with the main garment section.

How should the knit be cared for?

The rib knit is easy to wash, resists wrinkling, and retains its color and shape well after washing. Low shrinkage supports the stability of the finished garment. This approach makes it easier to preserve the shape of finished styles and the attractive appearance of the ribbed surface. Good color and shape retention emphasizes the fresh, light character of the mojito shade and helps maintain an attractive surface.
