ITY Polyester Spandex Fabric — Black

Premium black ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn) polyester spandex knit — smooth against skin, flexible with excellent recovery, and opaque at typical garment weights. Ideal for dresses, tops, pants, and garments that need drape plus stretch without cling.

What makes ITY fabric different

• Soft, smooth hand feel
  ITY knits are known for silky texture that feels great next to skin — perfect for wearables.
• Excellent stretch and recovery
  Spandex blend ensures garments keep their shape instead of bagging out over time.
• Opaque coverage
  Unlike thin stretch knits, ITY holds opacity in dresses and tops without seeing through.

Common fabric frustrations solved

• Too thin or flimsy fabric
  This ITY knit has the right body to support structured garments without weightlessness.
• Poor recovery/stretch
  Lower quality knits overstretch and don’t snap back. ITY polyester spandex provides reliable bounce-back.
• Cling or static
  Cheap knits can cling awkwardly; ITY’s smooth finish reduces cling and static build-up.

Ideal for these projects

• Activewear and lounge wear
• Layered looks and everyday wear
