Product description:

This 2×2 Eco-Friendly 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 2×2 rib knit structure, delivering excellent elasticity, shape retention, and a smooth, comfortable hand feel.

With a fabric weight of 200GSM and a width of 180cm, this material offers a balanced thickness—lightweight yet substantial enough to provide body support without feeling bulky. The generous width allows for efficient cutting and reduced fabric waste during garment production.

The modal fiber is derived from sustainably sourced wood pulp, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fibers. It offers a silky-smooth texture, exceptional breathability, and excellent moisture-wicking properties, keeping the skin dry and comfortable during wear. Unlike traditional rayon or viscose, modal is more durable, less prone to pilling, and maintains its shape better over time.

The 8% spandex delivers strong two-way stretch and over 90% shape recovery, enabling the fabric to conform comfortably to the body while resisting deformation after repeated use and washing. This makes it ideal for garments requiring flexibility and dimensional stability, such as intimate apparel, loungewear, children’s clothing, sweatshirts, and activewear.

The 2×2 rib construction enhances both horizontal and vertical stretch, improving fit and comfort. Its subtle textured surface adds visual depth and improves resistance to abrasion, helping to minimize pilling and maintain a crisp appearance even after extended use.

The fabric exhibits excellent dyeability, producing soft, rich colors with high color fastness (rated above Level 4). It is also highly wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for—retaining its smoothness after washing without the need for ironing.

As a sustainable and durable textile, this modal-spandex rib knit aligns with modern consumer values of environmental responsibility and long-term value. Its combination of comfort, performance, and eco-friendliness makes it a superior choice for fashion designers and manufacturers seeking high-quality, planet-conscious fabrics.
