Rib Knit Fabric

Rib knit fabric is a textured material characterized by vertical ridges on both sides of the fabric. The defining aspect of rib knit is its excellent elasticity and recovery, made possible by the alternating knit and purl stitches, forming a pattern that enhances stretch and flexibility. This fabric is ideal for crafting stylish sweaters, form-fitting tops, and comfortable activewear, lending each piece its distinctive texture and coziness. Dive into the world of design with rib knit fabric available by the yard, adding a touch of texture and comfort to your creations.
