Single jersey fabric is a type of weft knitted fabric. The knitting machine used to manufacture single jersey fabric has just one row of needles, whereas with interlock there are two.
This creates just one layer of fabric and this is where single jersey fabric gets its name.
Suggested uses:
Single jersey fabric is often used for sports t-shirts and leggings. This is because the material is very breathable so sweat doesn’t stay locked between the garment and the skin. It’s also a popular option for regular t-shirts too.
Bear in mind that these are just examples. Fabrics don’t have to be used for a specific application. As long as a material fits your design, it’s suitable for the job.
Customization of the product is also available on the basis of:
• GSM (Gram / Sq. meter): 100 - 250 GSM
• Material/Composition: 100% Hemp or can be blended with other fibers as per the requirement.
• Fabric type: Knit
• Weave type: Knit : Single Jersey / Rib / Pique / Velour / Fleece / Interlock / French Terry
