This 1×1 Breathable and Fashionable Modal Spandex Rib Knit Fabric is crafted with a premium blend of 92% modal (regenerated cellulose fiber) and 8% spandex, combining the softness and sustainability of natural-origin fibers with the stretch and recovery of spandex. The fabric features a 1×1 rib knit structure and a brushed surface finish, delivering a luxurious, smooth hand feel and enhanced comfort against the skin.
With a fabric weight of 260GSM and a width of 180cm, this material offers a substantial yet lightweight thickness—ideal for garments that require both body support and breathability. The generous width allows for efficient cutting and reduced fabric waste during production.
The modal fiber provides a cotton-like softness and excellent skin-friendliness, minimizing friction and irritation when worn next to the skin. It also offers superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties, helping to keep the skin dry and comfortable even during extended wear or in warm conditions.
The 8% spandex delivers strong two-way stretch and over 90% shape recovery, allowing the fabric to conform comfortably to the body while resisting deformation after repeated use and washing. This makes it ideal for intimate apparel, casual T-shirts, base layers, loungewear, and children’s clothing.
The 1×1 rib construction creates a subtle, alternating convex-concave texture on the surface, enhancing visual depth and improving air circulation. Combined with the brushed finish, it adds a soft, cozy feel—perfect for layering or everyday wear.
The fabric exhibits excellent dyeability, producing rich, even colors with high color fastness (rated above Level 4). It resists fading and maintains its vibrant appearance after multiple washes. Additionally, it is highly wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for—retaining its smoothness without the need for ironing.
As a sustainable and high-performance textile, this modal-spandex rib knit aligns with modern consumer values of environmental responsibility and long-term comfort. Its combination of softness, stretch, and breathability makes it a superior choice for fashion designers and manufacturers seeking premium, planet-conscious fabrics.
