Why this ITY knit outperforms cheap fabrics
-
Silky smooth feel
ITY knit has a fluid surface that feels great against skin — far superior to scratchy, low-grade stretch jerseys. -
Stretch with recovery
Spandex gives this knit flexible stretch that bounces back instead of sagging out after wear and wash. -
Opaque coverage
Unlike thin stretch fabrics that can be see-through, this knit stays opaque at typical garment weights.
Common knit frustrations — solved
-
Thin, flimsy material
Many stretch knits lack body. This ITY knit has enough substance to support garments without transparency or cling. -
Poor stretch recovery
Cheap fabrics overstretch and stay stretched. This knit holds shape wash after wash thanks to spandex. -
Static and cling
Lower quality knits can cling awkwardly. The smooth polyester surface reduces static and improves comfort.
