Product description:

This Rayon Spandex Rib Knit Fabric is crafted with a scientifically balanced blend of 95% rayon (regenerated cellulose fiber) and 5% spandex, combining the softness and breathability of natural-origin fibers with the stretch and recovery of spandex. The fabric features a 18×7 rib knit structure, delivering a fine, uniform texture with excellent lateral stretch and shape retention.

With a fabric weight of 280GSM and a width of 140cm, this material offers a moderate thickness that provides good body support without feeling bulky. The 140cm width allows for efficient cutting and reduced waste during garment production, making it ideal for both fashion and functional apparel.

The rayon fiber exhibits excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, rapidly wicking away sweat from the skin’s surface and dispersing it into the air. This keeps the wearer dry and comfortable even in hot and humid conditions, effectively eliminating stickiness and stuffiness associated with traditional synthetic fabrics.

The 5% spandex delivers just the right amount of elasticity—offering 20%-30% two-way stretch with strong rebound performance. This ensures freedom of movement while maintaining a comfortable, non-restrictive fit. The fabric resists deformation after repeated stretching and washing, preserving its shape and durability over time.

The construction creates a subtle, textured surface resembling a "French rib" or "bone pattern" (snakebone-like), adding visual interest and depth to the fabric. This structure enhances air circulation and contributes to improved breathability, making it ideal for base layers, casual wear, sportswear, and lightweight outerwear.

The fabric is lightweight, soft, and smooth to the touch, with excellent drape and comfort. It resists warping, pilling, and shrinkage after washing, ensuring long-lasting quality and easy care. Its high color fastness (rated above Level 4) maintains vibrant colors through multiple washes.

Ideal for spring, summer, and transitional season garments, this fabric can also be used as a base layer in autumn and winter due to its thermal regulation and moisture management. It combines comfort, breathability, and practicality, offering designers and manufacturers a versatile choice for modern clothing.
