Product description
A sturdy knit fabric made of eco-friendly modal and cotton with a prominent structure that resembles a fine rib and is really pleasant to the touch. Great for everyday clothing, t-shirts, tops, dresses, leggings, and comfy loungewear.
Modal cotton blend jersey
This substantial single jersey has a pronounced V-shaped knit texture on the face, resembling a very fine rib. Unlike finer, more fluid modal jerseys, it has a fuller hand and a more structured drape.
Modal contributes dimensional stability, long-lasting vibrant colors and greater resistance to pilling. Like viscose, modal is heavier than cotton, so bear in mind that T-shirts made from this fabric will also feel heavier.
Cotton gives the jersey a fuller hand and reduces the overall fabric weight, making it feel more like the familiar cotton jersey traditionally used for T-shirts.
What to sew with this jersey
This modal cotton blend jersey has a pronounced texture (to the naked eye it looks like a fine rib knit). It’s sturdy and holds its shape well, making it a good match for standbys like t-shirts, tops, dresses, leggings, and comfy loungewear.
What is modal?
Modal is an exquisitely soft, smooth material made from natural cellulose, similar to viscose but with improved performance characteristics. Its exceptional comfort, breathability, and absorption help maintain a pleasant microclimate.
Modal is made differently than ordinary rayon, making it sturdy, pill-resistant, colorfast, and non-shrinking. What’s more, modal is actually more eco-friendly than cotton; its production is pesticide free and consumes far less water.

Care
Wash at 30°C. Iron at medium to high heat (wool, max. cotton). Though modal and cotton can stand higher temperatures, elastane is more sensitive, so treat the fabric gently. This fabric is colorfast and pill resistant.
