Weight - 8.5 oz/sq yard or 290 GSM

Width - 52"

Fiber - 66% Bamboo Rayon 26% Cotton 8% Spandex

% Stretch - 70%

Rib Spec - 4×2, 10W

This modern rib knit made of bamboo rayon and cotton combines the best of what we love about these two fibers. Bamboo rayon adds smooth softness to the fabric while the cotton gives the fabric more body. The fabric is not as slippery as pure bamboo (or other rayon ribs), and with 8% spandex, it also has a super high recovery. Overall, it’s a top quality basic that is easy to sew and therefore very beginner friendly. At 8.8 oz/sq yard, it is a dense weight great for making fitted garments like Tees and turtlenecks. This is a 4×2 rib and is 10W (single sided ribs per inch). This mauve color is opaque.
