Developed for Yoga Sets, this Interlock Knit answers the most common brief we receive: a soft hand with modest, sustained stretch. The yarn package is nylon spandex with copper bearing filament, chosen because it provides antibacterial action plus faster heat transfer away from the skin, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that UPF 50+ Sun Protection.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a double-bed interlock knit means identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension, and that structure is what allows the fabric to blocks ultraviolet radiation for outdoor training under the conditions Yoga Sets actually face.

Recommended applications
The first choice for Yoga Sets, where a soft hand with modest, sustained stretch is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

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.
