Developed for Hoodies and Joggers, this Single Jersey Knit answers the most common brief we receive: warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface. The yarn package is 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex, chosen because it provides higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Cooling Ice-Feel.

Why this construction works
Because a plain single-bed knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Performance features
- Cooling Ice-Feel: gives an instant cool touch and spreads heat away from the body, measured by contact cool feeling measurement (Q-max).
- Hand and comfort: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines.
- Construction benefit: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
Used for Hoodies and Joggers and for the accessories around them. warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control

Frequently asked questions
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
