New To Cotton Jersey?

Cotton jersey is a soft knitted fabric widely used for comfortable everyday clothing.

Unlike woven cotton, jersey naturally has flexibility, while the addition of elastane provides even better stretch and recovery.

Its combination of softness, breathability and movement makes cotton jersey particularly popular for T-shirts, tops, dresses, leggings, children's clothing, babywear and pyjamas.
