Coton Elastane Jersey Fabric

 What is Jersey Elastane Fabric?

Jersey elastane fabric is a widely used textile in the fashion industry due to its exceptional stretchability and comfort. It is produced on circular knitting machines using a blend of cotton, polyester, and elastane (Lycra/Spandex) fibers, providing flexibility and durability.

This type of fabric typically has a lightweight structure, ranging from 100 to 130 grams per square meter. The front side features a smooth surface, while the back consists of a reverse loop structure, making both sides distinct. Jersey elastane fabric is ideal for producing T-shirts, leggings, sportswear, and activewear due to its elasticity and soft touch.

For those with textile expertise, jersey elastane fabrics can be classified based on their knitting and yarn types, such as:

• Plain Jersey Elastane (10/1 – 20/1 – 24/1 – 30/1 – 36/1 – 40/1 – 50/1 – 60/1)
• Melange Jersey Elastane (10/1 – 20/1 – 24/1 – 30/1 – 36/1 – 40/1 – 50/1 – 60/1)
• Combed Lycra Jersey (10/1 – 20/1 – 24/1 – 30/1 – 36/1 – 40/1 – 50/1 – 60/1)
• Ring Melange Lycra Jersey (10/1 – 20/1 – 24/1 – 30/1 – 36/1 – 40/1 – 50/1 – 60/1)
• Cotton-Polyester Full Lycra Jersey (10/1 – 20/1 – 24/1 – 30/1 – 36/1 – 40/1 – 50/1 – 60/1)

Before bulk production, jersey elastane fabrics undergo strict quality control measures to ensure optimal performance. Important tests include:

• Stretch and Recovery Test: Ensuring the fabric regains its shape after being stretched.
• Fabric Weight Measurement: Adjusting GSM (grams per square meter) for the desired application.
• Width and Shrinkage Control: Maintaining consistency during production.
• Color and Pattern Validation: Ensuring dye accuracy and visual appeal.
• Lot Number Tracking: To maintain batch consistency.
