Jersey

Jersey is a type of knit fabric that is characterized by its flat, smooth surface and its stretchability. It is made using a plain knit stitch, which creates a series of V-shaped loops on the fabric's right side and smooth, flat rows on the wrong side.

Jersey fabric can be made from a variety of fibers, including cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic materials such as polyester and rayon.

One of the most popular uses of jersey fabric is for T-shirts and other casual clothing items. Due to its stretchability and drape, it is a popular choice for close-fitting garments such as leggings, dresses, and skirts. Jersey fabric is also commonly used for athletic wear, as its stretchiness allows for ease of movement and its moisture-wicking properties help to keep the body cool and dry.

Jersey fabric comes in a variety of weights and can be knit to produce different textures, such as ribbed or pique. It can also be dyed in a wide range of colors and printed with patterns or designs.

Jersey is a versatile fabric that can be used for a wide range of applications, from clothing and accessories to home décor and upholstery.
