This 2×2 Lightweight and Durable Blended Rib Knit Fabric is crafted with a scientifically balanced blend of 85% polyester, 27% rayon (regenerated cellulose fiber), and 8% spandex, combining the strength and durability of synthetic fibers with the softness and breathability of natural-origin fibers. 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 280GSM and a width of 155cm, this material offers a moderate thickness—lightweight yet substantial enough to provide body support without feeling bulky. The generous width allows for efficient cutting and reduced fabric waste during production.
The polyester component provides excellent structural stability, wrinkle resistance, and abrasion resistance, ensuring the fabric maintains its shape and appearance even after repeated wear and washing. The rayon fiber enhances breathability and moisture-wicking properties, reducing stuffiness and improving comfort during wear—especially in warm or humid 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 stretching. This makes it ideal for cuffs, hems, waistbands, and necklines where flexibility and dimensional integrity are essential.
The 2×2 rib construction creates a fine, regular texture that enhances both horizontal and vertical stretch. This structure improves air circulation and contributes to a snug, contoured fit without feeling constrictive.
Its stable physical properties ensure it retains its original shape, color, and performance after multiple washes, minimizing daily care effort and extending the garment’s lifespan. It also exhibits excellent color fastness (rated above Level 4) and is resistant to fading and shrinkage.
Ideal for spring and autumn base layers, athletic wear, underwear, and casual clothing, this blended rib knit fabric combines lightness, durability, and comfort—making it a practical and reliable choice for modern apparel design.
