Construction notes
How this fabric behaves
Written by our technical team from production data, not marketing copy.
This 2x2 rib is knitted to match our single jersey and French terry shade cards, so trims and bodies come out of the same dye lot family. At 240 gsm it has enough body for waistbands and cuffs without rolling.
Stretch is around 60% across the width with 90% recovery, which keeps cuffs snug after washing. Order it with the body fabric and we will dye both in the same lot to avoid shade drift on the finished garment.
Ordering notes
- Lab dips are prepared in 7–10 days including courier; one re-dip is free.
- Bulk production starts after dip approval and runs 18–28 days.
- Roll lengths are 50–120 m; short rolls are declared on the packing list.
- Shrinkage is measured to ≤5% length, ≤6% width on the finished fabric. Cutting allowances should still be confirmed on your own wash standard.
Questions
2x2 Rib Knit 240 FAQ
Specification and ordering questions specific to this fabric.
Can rib be dyed the same shade as jersey?
Yes. Order rib with your body fabric and we dye both in the same lot. Because rib and jersey take dye slightly differently, same-lot dyeing is the only reliable way to avoid visible shade differences at the cuff.
What is 2x2 rib used for?
It is used for cuffs, collars, waistbands and hems because the alternating knit and purl columns give strong crosswise stretch with good recovery. Heavier weights are also used for fitted tops and dresses.
