Cotton Spandex Dropneedle Rib Fabric combines the natural softness of cotton with the flexibility of spandex, offering a comfortable and stretchy fabric with a unique textured surface. The dropneedle rib construction creates a sophisticated, vertical rib pattern, providing both visual appeal and added stretch. This fabric is ideal for creating garments that require both comfort and flexibility, including casualwear, activewear, and loungewear.

Main Features

Composition

95% Cotton: The cotton content provides natural softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. Cotton helps regulate body temperature by allowing air to circulate, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. It’s perfect for all-day wear, particularly in warm climates or for active pursuits.

5% Spandex: The spandex component adds stretch, ensuring that the fabric moves with the body. It allows garments to maintain their shape and fit, providing a comfortable and flexible fit without losing their form. This makes the fabric ideal for creating form-fitting garments or pieces that require more flexibility and ease of movement.

Fabric Type

Dropneedle Rib: The fabric is made using a dropneedle rib knit construction, which features a textured surface with vertical ribs. This construction provides the fabric with elasticity and a unique look, making it ideal for garments that need structure, but also require stretch. The ribbed design adds an aesthetic appeal while allowing for a snug fit that adapts to the body.

Width

115 cm: With a width of 115 cm, this fabric is narrower than typical fabrics, making it ideal for specific garment pieces or smaller, more fitted designs. This width works well for top parts of garments, such as t-shirts, sleeves, or cuffs, where a more controlled, form-fitting structure is needed.

Weight

220 g/㎡: The fabric weighs 220 g/㎡, offering a medium weight that provides both durability and breathability. This weight makes it suitable for a wide range of garments, from comfortable loungewear to fitted activewear. It is thick enough to hold its shape while still remaining breathable and comfortable.

Yarn Count

34S: The 34S yarn count refers to fine, smooth yarn used in the construction of the fabric. This ensures a soft texture while maintaining the fabric’s durability and strength. The fine yarn results in a smooth, high-quality finish, making the fabric suitable for comfortable, long-wearing garments.

Product Advantages

Soft & Comfortable: The cotton base provides a soft feel, ideal for garments that are worn close to the skin. The spandex ensures that the fabric retains its stretch, providing a snug yet comfortable fit that moves with the wearer.

Stretch & Flexibility: The 5% spandex gives the fabric excellent elasticity, allowing it to stretch and recover. This makes it ideal for activewear, leggings, or any garment that needs to offer a form-fitting, flexible fit.

Breathable & Moisture-Wicking: Cotton is naturally breathable and moisture-absorbing, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. The fabric is great for warmer weather or activewear, as it allows airflow and absorbs excess moisture.

Textured Appearance: The dropneedle rib construction gives the fabric a unique, vertical ribbed texture. This aesthetic quality enhances the fabric’s visual appeal, making it ideal for garments that need both texture and structure.

Durable & Long-Lasting: The combination of cotton and spandex ensures that the fabric is durable and able to withstand repeated washing and wear. It maintains its shape and texture, ensuring long-lasting comfort and quality.

Care Instructions

Machine Washable: This fabric can be machine washed in cold or lukewarm water to preserve softness and prevent shrinkage. A gentle cycle is recommended to maintain the fabric’s quality and texture.

Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's elasticity and prevent shrinkage. If using a tumble dryer, dry on a low heat setting to maintain the fabric’s structure and shape.

Ironing: Iron on low heat with steam to remove wrinkles. Avoid using high heat, as it could affect the spandex content and reduce the fabric's stretchability.

Avoid Bleach: To maintain the fabric’s color and integrity, avoid using bleach. Use a mild detergent to keep the fabric looking fresh and soft.

Product Application Areas

Cotton Spandex Dropneedle Rib Fabric is ideal for:

Casualwear: T-shirts, tops, and dresses that require both comfort and a bit of structure, with a unique textured finish.

Activewear: Perfect for creating form-fitting, flexible garments like leggings, yoga pants, or sports bras that need to offer both stretch and support.

Loungewear: Ideal for creating cozy and comfortable loungewear such as sweatpants, hoodies, and cozy tops.

Layering Pieces: Suitable for making comfortable layering pieces like cardigans or lightweight sweaters that require some structure and stretch.

Common Issues

Shrinkage: Slight shrinkage may occur after the first wash. To minimize this, wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Pilling: Regular wear may cause pilling, especially in high-friction areas. Using a fabric shaver or sweater comb can help maintain the fabric’s smooth appearance.

Wrinkling: The fabric may wrinkle after washing. Use steam or iron on low heat to smooth out any wrinkles without affecting the fabric’s elasticity.
