What makes ITY fabric different
-
Soft, smooth hand feel
ITY knits are known for silky texture that feels great next to skin — perfect for wearables.
-
Excellent stretch and recovery
Spandex blend ensures garments keep their shape instead of bagging out over time.
-
Opaque coverage
Unlike thin stretch knits, ITY holds opacity in dresses and tops without seeing through.
Common fabric frustrations solved
-
Too thin or flimsy fabric
This ITY knit has the right body to support structured garments without weightlessness.
-
Poor recovery/stretch
Lower quality knits overstretch and don’t snap back. ITY polyester spandex provides reliable bounce-back.
-
Cling or static
Cheap knits can cling awkwardly; ITY’s smooth finish reduces cling and static build-up.
