Mercerised pure cotton interlock knit T-shirt fabric, smooth and very soft to the touch, woven of long staple cotton yarns which give the fabric a relatively finer texture, subtle natural sheen and good drape. Double knit, so raw edges lie flat and don't curl, making the fabric easier to cut and sew. A perfect fabric for sleepwear and lounge wear, T-shirts, tops, dresses, soft shorts, men's tees and children's wear. Despite the high inherent stretch, fabric is not suitable for leggings or similar as it contains no stretch fibre. Deep navy is a dark desaturated navy, almost a soft blue-black, and opaque on the skin.
About "soft-type" vs "dense-type": This fabric and those shown in the last photo are marked as "soft-type". Compared to the other mercerised long staple cotton interlocks in the shop marked as "dense-type", which have a dense and ultra-smooth texture, these have a somewhat more plush texture and a lofty hand-feel. These fabrics are also softer, less structured (making them very suited to sleepwear and lounge wear), and some have slightly thicker yarns that make them feel a bit more cottony in the hand.
