COTTON SINGLE JERSEY FABRIC WITH ELASTANE - BLACK - 160 GSM

COTTON SINGLE JERSEY FABRIC WITH SPANDEX - BLACK - 160 GSM

This black jersey made from cotton, Tencel, and spandex has a very soft, gentle hand and a slightly fluid drape. The smooth, matte surface maintains black's understated appearance, while stretch in two directions allows the fabric to move freely without losing resilient recovery. At 160 GSM, the knit remains lightweight and breathable, making it well suited to styles where comfort, softness, and fluid lines matter.

Cotton and Tencel in a soft, fluid base

The combination of 47% cotton and 47% Tencel defines the fabric primarily through softness and the way a larger piece falls and drapes in the hand. Tencel emphasizes fluidity, while cotton maintains the blend's natural character. The addition of 6% spandex completes this base with resilience, helping the fabric recover its shape well after stretching. Matte black focuses attention on the knit's movement rather than shine or an additional pattern.

A fluid drape in comfortable everyday styles

The jersey can be used for T-shirts, tops, tunics, and dresses, styles in which the fabric's soft fall is clearly visible. It also works well for loungewear and lightweight yoga designs. In children's collections, listed uses include leggings, T-shirts, dresses, and pajamas. The same fabric can therefore work in several very different styles, but each should retain a construction suited to its lightweight, soft nature.

Black pairs well with cream, taupe, charcoal, and brown. In a neutral collection it can form the main base, while lighter accents create a clearer contrast. The smooth surface and fluid drape are enough to give a simple cut character without elaborate details.

Full opacity and flexibility when cutting

The knit weighs 160 GSM and is 170 cm wide. Full opacity provides flexibility across larger areas, while the width allows convenient placement of the body, sleeves, and longer pieces of softly draping styles. The fabric remains stable during cutting even though lifting it clearly reveals its fluid character. The enzyme and silicone finishes complement the surface's smoothness and gentle hand.

Shape and color after washing

The black jersey retains its color and shape well after washing. Low shrinkage helps maintain the finished garment's proportions, while resistance to stretching out and distortion complements the knit's stretchy character. This means a soft, fluid drape does not imply a lack of shape control, and matte black remains an even backdrop for everyday and more fitted designs.
