ITY Polyester Spandex Knit Fabric — Silver

Premium silver ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn) polyester spandex knit with smooth hand, comfortable stretch, and reliable recovery. Opaque and soft, this fabric is ideal for tops, dresses, skirts, pants, and everyday garments that need drape without cling.

What makes this ITY knit worth it

• Silky smooth hand feel
  ITY knits are known for a soft, fluid texture that feels great against skin.
• Comfortable stretch with recovery
  The spandex blend ensures bounce-back and shape retention after wear and wash.
• Opaque coverage
  Unlike thin stretch knits that can be see-through, this fabric holds opacity at standard garment weights.

Common shopper frustrations — resolved

• Too thin or flimsy
  Cheap knockoff stretch fabrics lack body. This knit has enough structure to support garment builds.
• Stretch that doesn’t recover
  Low quality stretch fabrics bag out. The spandex content here helps maintain shape.
• Cling and static
  Some inexpensive knits cling awkwardly. The smooth surface and polyester blend reduce static and cling.

Ideal for these projects

• Dresses, maxis, and wrap styles
• Tops, tees, blouses, and tunics
• Leggings, joggers, and lounge wear
• Layered outfits and coordinated separates
• Activewear and everyday apparel
