Discover the World of Fabrics
Explore fabric types, construction, composition, GSM, properties, applications and textile calculations in one place.
Explore Primary Fabric Classes
Understand how interlacing and interlocking configurations dictate drape, stability, and end-garment durability.
Knitted Fabrics
knittedFabrics produced by interlocking loops of yarn, offering inherent stretch and flexibility.
Woven Fabrics
wovenFabrics manufactured by interlacing warp and weft yarns at right angles with superior structural stability.
Natural Fabrics
naturalTextiles derived from plant, animal, or mineral biological sources with high comfort and breathability.
Synthetic Fabrics
syntheticMan-made petrochemical fibers engineered for tensile durability, hydrophobic resilience, and quick drying.
Blended Fabrics
blendedEngineered combinations of two or more distinct fibers combining comfort, strength, and cost-efficiency.
Sustainable Fabrics
sustainableEco-conscious fibers produced with reduced carbon, water, and chemical footprints.
Popular Knitted Fabrics
Inherent loop elasticity, breathability, and relaxed comfort profiles.
Single Jersey
KnitA lightweight to medium-weight weft-knitted fabric featuring vertical wales on the face and horizontal courses on the reverse.
Interlock
KnitA double-knit fabric constructed with two interlocking rib sets, producing an identical smooth face on both sides.
