the most common knit fabric, known for its smooth surface on one side and a more textured
look on the other. In a single jersey face side and back side appearance is different. This fabric is

alternatively on the face and the back of the fabric. Both sides of this knit fabric look identical.

textured fabric. It’s commonly used for cuffs, collars, and bands on garments, as well as for
close-fitting items like sweaters and leggings.

Interlock Knit Fabric is stretchy fabric knitted with interlocking stitches by
alternating sets of needles on a circular knitting machine. Instead of creating ridges of knit and
purl stitches, interlock knit fabric has two rows of stitches, one directly behind the other. This
type of knit fabric is similar to jersey but features a double-knit construction, making it thicker
and more stable. It’s used in items like polo shirts and more structured dresses.
