This 3×1 Blended Rib Knit Fabric is a premium textile crafted with a complex and carefully balanced blend of 2% rayon, 2% acrylic, 2% wool, 2% silk, 8% spandex, and 84% polyester, combining the luxury of natural fibers with the performance of synthetic and elastic materials. The fabric features a 3×1 rib knit structure, delivering excellent elasticity, shape retention, and a soft, luxurious hand feel.
With a fabric weight of 260GSM and a width of 185cm, this material offers a substantial yet lightweight thickness—ideal for garments that require both body support and comfort. The generous width allows for efficient cutting and reduced fabric waste during production.
The wool and silk components contribute to a refined, smooth texture and enhanced thermal regulation, providing warmth in cooler conditions while remaining breathable. The rayon fiber adds softness and moisture-wicking properties, helping to keep the skin dry and comfortable. The acrylic content improves durability and resilience, while also enhancing color retention and resistance to pilling.
The 8% spandex delivers strong two-way stretch and over 90% shape recovery, ensuring the fabric conforms comfortably to the body while resisting deformation after repeated use and washing. This makes it ideal for cuffs, hems, waistbands, and necklines where flexibility and dimensional integrity are essential.
The 84% polyester base provides excellent wrinkle resistance, shape stability, and easy care, ensuring the fabric maintains its appearance even after multiple washes. It also contributes to high color fastness (rated above Level 4), minimizing fading and maintaining vibrant colors over time.
Functionally, this fabric excels in moisture absorption, breathability, and comfort, making it suitable for luxury sportswear, premium loungewear, outerwear trims, and fashion accessories. Its unique blend creates a soft, elegant, and durable wearing experience—perfect for designs that demand both style and performance.
Additionally, the fabric exhibits excellent abrasion resistance and anti-static properties, making it ideal for high-end apparel and functional wear. Its ability to be customized through fiber ratio adjustments ensures it can meet specific design needs, offering high cost-effectiveness and versatility.
Whether used in fashionable outerwear, designer sportswear, or home textiles, this blended rib knit fabric delivers a premium balance of comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal—making it an optimal choice for discerning designers and manufacturers.
