Defective Fabric Remnant
This fabric remnant may have a small flaw such as a stain, tiny hole, or weaving irregularity. If the type of defect is known, it is stated in the product description. We offer a generous discounts because we do not photograph the defects or provide details about their size or placement – purchasing this remnant is therefore a bit of a “lucky dip.” You may receive a piece where the flaw is barely visible, or one where it is more noticeable. By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept this uncertainty.
Defective remnants cannot be returned or claimed due to the listed flaws.
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.
