This Spacer Knit is built for brands whose Yoga Sets programme needs a soft hand with modest, sustained stretch without a complicated supply chain. Knitted from polyester elastane with a bio-based chitosan finish, it offers a bio-derived antibacterial route for restricted substance sensitive programmes, and the construction is engineered so that Compression.

Why this construction works
Because a spacer knit with two faces is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: cushioning and airflow built into a single piece of fabric. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Recommended applications
Used for Yoga Sets and for the accessories around them. a soft hand with modest, sustained stretch 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.
