Looking for a fabric with a little flexibility? Spoonflower offers multiple stretch knit fabrics, each with their own personalities.
Our Organic Cotton Interlock Knit is a great choice if you're looking for natural fibers or organic fabric. It's a heavyweight interlock fabric that's a bit like a t-shirt knit, but thicker. For a lighter option, Modern Jersey is a polyester knit with a cottony feel and matte finish that's perfect for projects that need a delicate, airy knit. Our Cotton Spandex Jersey is super stretchy, with great recovery, and is between Modern Jersey and Organic Cotton Knit in weight. All three fabrics are great for kids and infant clothes and blankets that need to be extra soft and snuggly.
For a knit that has vibrant colors that hold up wonderfully to repeated washings, you’ll want to check out our Performance Piqué, Performance Knit, Sport Lycra or Modern Jersey. The Performance Piqué even has a soil-release finish that makes laundering a breeze.
For athletic apparel, leggings, and other projects that need a breathable fabric--Performance Piqué and Performance Knit both have moisture-wicking properties to keep you cool and dry. The Performance Piqué has a gentle diamond-like texture, while Performance Knit has a bit more sheen to it. Sport Lycra stretches to fit your body and is perfect for leotards, yoga tights and other form-fitting pieces.
If you’re looking for a 4-way stretch, our Modern Jersey and Sport Lycra both stretch 75% in width and 50% in length. Our Cotton Spandex Jersey stretches 65% in length and 50% in width.
Our stretchiest 2-way knit is our Performance Piqué, which stretches 50% from selvage to selvage. Our Performance Knit and Organic Cotton Knit stretch about 25%.
