New To Cotton Elastane Jersey?

Cotton elastane jersey is a soft knitted fabric combining the comfort and breathability of cotton with added elastane for stretch and recovery.

Unlike woven cotton, jersey is constructed using knitted loops, giving the fabric movement and flexibility. The addition of elastane helps the fabric stretch and return towards its original shape, making it particularly popular for comfortable fitted and everyday garments.

Heavier weight cotton elastane jersey offers additional body and excellent coverage while retaining comfortable stretch, making it a versatile choice for both adult and children's clothing.
