Polyester Polyamide Elastane Blend Moisture-Wicking French Terry Knit combines 50% polyester / 42% polyamide / 8% elastane with a French Terry Knit construction. It is aimed at Running Tops that require low weight with fast moisture transport, and the reason is straightforward: a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly, so Moisture-Wicking.

Why this construction works
Because a looped back French terry is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face. 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
- Moisture-Wicking: moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry, measured by AATCC 195 moisture management.
- Hand and comfort: a dense surface that takes sublimation print cleanly.
- Construction benefit: absorbency on the inside with a flat, printable outer face.
- 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 Running Tops and for the accessories around them. low weight with fast moisture transport 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
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.
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
