Rib knit fabric is a type of double-knit textile that stands out in the fabric industry for its elasticity, durability, and distinctive ribbed structure. Unlike jersey fabric, rib knit fabrics feature prominent vertical lines (ribs) on both the front and back surfaces. This ribbed texture not only gives the fabric its characteristic look but also provides excellent stretch and recovery properties. Thanks to this, rib knit fabrics can easily return to their original shape after being stretched, making them ideal for many types of garments.
Rib knit fabric is highly stretchable in the horizontal direction, providing comfort in areas that need flexibility—such as collars, cuffs, and waistbands. Its ability to maintain its shape ensures that garments retain their form even after prolonged use.
Both sides of the fabric have the same ribbed appearance, which makes cutting and sewing processes easier and more efficient.
Typically made from cotton yarn, rib knit fabrics feel soft and pleasant against the skin. This makes them a preferred choice for underwear and baby clothing.
The knitted structure allows air circulation, making the fabric breathable and reducing perspiration.
With its tightly knit construction, rib knit fabric is resistant to wear and tear, offering long-lasting performance.
Ribbed Undershirts:
One of the most common uses of rib knit fabric is in ribbed undershirt production. Its form-fitting and flexible structure ensures comfort, while its moisture absorption makes it ideal for warm weather.
Collars and Cuffs:
Rib knit fabric is commonly used for neckbands, cuffs, and waistbands in T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and coats. Its elasticity makes dressing easier, while its recovery helps garments maintain their shape.
Underwear:
Due to its comfort and stretch, rib knit fabric is an excellent choice for boxers, briefs, and thermal wear.
Baby and Children’s Clothing:
The softness and flexibility of rib knit make it ideal for baby rompers, onesies, and pajamas.
Casual Wear:
Used in T-shirts, tops, and bodysuits, rib knit fabric provides both style and comfort for everyday wear.

In some cases, the durability of rib knit fabric is also utilized in items like rugs or other household textile products.
