By admin / Date Jul 08,2025

Single Jersey Fabric is a structural fabric made of a group of yarns woven through a single circular knitting machine. Its fabric structure has the characteristics of smooth front and circular back, good stretchability, light weight and low weaving cost.
Compared with double-sided knitted fabric, Single Jersey has better breathability and flexibility, and is suitable for close-fitting wear. Due to the characteristics of its fabric structure, it also shows excellent adaptability during secondary processing.
Comparison table of the difference between single-sided knitted fabric and double-sided knitted fabric:
