Rib is a type of knit fabric characterized by its distinct ribbed texture. It is created using alternating raised and lowered rows of stitches, resulting in vertical lines or ribs across the fabric’s surface.
Rib knitwear is stretchy and flexible, making it suitable for garments that require elasticity and a snug fit. It is often used in the production of cuffs, collars, waistbands, and trimmings for various types of clothing, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, and underwear. Ribbed fabric is valued for its ability to provide structure and reinforcement to these areas while still allowing for comfortable movement. It is available in different weights and thicknesses, allowing for versatility in garment construction and design.
