COTTON-POLYESTER 1X1 RIB KNIT FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - GREY MELANGE - 220 GSM

COTTON-POLYESTER 1X1 RIB KNIT FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - HEATHER GRAY - 220 GSM

Heather gray in this cotton-polyester 1x1 rib knit with spandex provides an understated, versatile surface with a pronounced but regular texture. The heather effect works well with simple cuts because it breaks up a solid color without adding a pattern. The matte knit has a more compact, substantial structure than most lightweight 1x1 rib knits in this category, allowing it to create a more defined line in the finished style.

More substantial 1x1 rib knit for designs that need to hold their shape

The rib knit is resilient, stretchy, and recovers its original shape well. The compact construction helps maintain shape, while the knit drapes softly and does not distort easily. Full opacity gives you freedom with larger garment pieces, while a skin-friendly hand allows the heather gray to be used in styles worn close to the body as well. The regular, matte surface emphasizes the color's versatile character.

From T-shirts to leggings and athletic basics

Heather gray can be used for blouses, long-sleeve shirts, T-shirts, tops, skirts, and leggings. The knit also suits athletic designs: tops, leggings, and styles for running, yoga, fitness, dance, and training. In children's collections, the rib knit works for bodysuits and leggings, and the source-listed uses also include underwear. The neutral color makes it easy to connect the everyday, active, and children's parts of a collection through one rib knit.

Heather gray looks good with cream and black when the collection is intended to remain neutral and graphic. Navy blue gives the whole collection a more understated, cool direction, while a more saturated color can be used as a single accent without disrupting the heather fabric's versatile character.

Across several styles, vary the proportion of ribbing and degree of fit. Heather gray can form an entire T-shirt or long-sleeve shirt in one style and appear in a more athletic form in the next. The mottled surface connects different cuts and maintains cohesion without making it feel like the same construction is being repeated. The heathered surface also helps maintain an understated effect in a collection with many different uses.

Cotton with added polyester and spandex

The composition is 92% cotton, 5% polyester, and 3% spandex. The 220 GSM weight is paired with a more compact, substantial hand, while the 160 cm width provides flexibility for larger pattern pieces. The rib knit is durable and resists frequent washing, pilling, abrasion, stretching out, and distortion. A silicone finish has been applied, complementing the matte surface and soft drape.

Easy care for heather gray

The knit is easy to wash, retains its color and shape well after washing, and has a low tendency to wrinkle. Low shrinkage helps maintain the finished style's proportions, while the stable construction supports an even appearance on the ribbed surface. This suits heather gray intended to remain an understated base in both everyday and athletic styles.
