Jersey fabric is defined by the way it is constructed, being a knitted, stretch fabric rather than a woven material. Often called jersey knit, it is made by knitting yarns in loops which is how the fabric gets its stretch. In comparison, a typical woven fabric is made by weaving yarns of weft thread over and under the warp yarns which leads to a more structured fabric with little or no stretch.
Back in time, jersey was considered a cheap, useless material, but it reached fame and appreciation when iconic designers used it in their collections. Thanks to its versatility, excellent fit, elasticity and easy care maintenance, it is widely used in the clothing industry. Among its main features and benefits, we find its incredible elasticity, cause it's elastic both in length and width. Another benefit of jersey is its wear resistance; it is strong and resilient.
