Single Jersey Fabric Vs Interlock Fabric（1）
Single Jersey Fabric
How is Single Jersey Fabric Made?
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 (just like if you were knitting a basic scarf). And this is where single jersey fabric gets its name.
Let’s see how single jersey is knitted on the single jersey knitting machine:
Single Jersey Fabric Properties
When you handle single jersey fabric, you’ll quickly find that one side of the fabric is smoother than the other. The material feels soft and light and it drapes very easily. Single jersey fabric is also very breathable.
Single Jersey Fabric 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.
