What is Jersey? What is the stitch?
To put it simply, there are 2 large families of fabrics:
- Chain and frame fabrics
- Mesh fabrics
Chain and frame fabrics are woven fabrics: they are not stretchy unless they contain elastane.
The mesh fabrics are knitted fabrics : This type of assembly makes them extensible (they will be more or less depending on the chosen coupon.)
Among the stitches, you will find several types of fabrics:
- Cotton jersey
- Viscose jersey
- Linen jersey
- The mixed jerseys
- The mesh for sweaters and vests
- The knit for sweatshirts, type French terry
These fabrics in the category of meshes will also be able to contain elastane to make them even more comfortable.
Depending on the type of mesh chosen, you will have several fabric rendering.
For example, cotton jersey is much less flexible than a viscose jersey.
If you are starting out in the seam of mesh, we advise you to opt at first for cotton jerseys.
