Fabric description
Our optic white cotton ribbing fabric is ideal for finishing touches like cuffs, waistbands, and necklines on your handmade projects.
This is a 1×1 tubular rib knit, meaning it’s knitted in a continuous tube – imagine a sock without the toe! To use it, simply cut along the tube to open up the fabric. Once opened, it measures 70cm wide, so it’s better suited for trims rather than as a main fabric.
Compared to 2×1 ribbing, this 1×1 tubular ribbing has a flatter surface and a slightly lighter feel due to the subtle ridges, making it a perfect choice for T-shirt trims.
This tubular ribbing fabric, is sanforized, meaning it has been pre-washed during manufacturing. This is perfect for anyone who prefers to skip pre-washing or occasionally forgets to do it.
Please note, this batch is non-organic due to an ordering mix-up. It’s the same high quality as our organic ribbing, just without the certification.
