ITY Polyester Spandex Knit Fabric — White
Premium white ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn) polyester spandex knit with a smooth, silky hand,
comfortable stretch, and dependable recovery. Opaque and drapey, this fabric is perfect for
dresses, tops, pants, and everyday garments that need ease of movement without cling.
Why this ITY knit performs better
-
Silky smooth texture
ITY knit has a soft, fluid surface that feels great against skin — far superior to cheap,
rough knits that irritate and drag.
-
Stretch with recovery
Spandex ensures flexible stretch that returns to shape instead of bagging out after wear.
-
Opaque coverage
Unlike thin stretch meshes, this knit holds opacity at typical garment weights so
clothing doesn’t look see-through.
Everyday rugrats solved
-
Drape that clings awkwardly
Many stretch fabrics cling uncomfortably. This ITY knit flows smoothly over curves.
-
Poor stretch recovery
Lower quality knits sag after stretching. This fabric bounces back and holds shape.
-
Static and cling
Rough, cheap knits generate static build-up. The smooth polyester surface reduces cling.
