Rib jersey is a knitted fabric with a distinctive ribbed structure. Its soft, stretchy texture is suitable for clothing that needs to move comfortably with you.

What can you make with rib jersey?

Think tops, long-sleeved shirts, leggings and fitted dresses. The ribbed texture adds character even to a simple pattern. Check your pattern’s stretch requirements and the specifications of your chosen fabric.

Combining rib jersey

Pair ribbed fabric with a smooth fabric for contrasting textures. A colour from a print can tie the two fabrics together, or choose two plain colours for an unexpected combination.

Rib jersey for clothing differs from ribbing for neckbands and cuffs. Choose the fabric suited to your project.

Order in 10 cm increments, from 50 cm.
