Mercerised pure cotton interlock knit T-shirt fabric, very smooth (smoother than typical cotton jersey), soft to the touch, woven of very fine, long-staple cotton yarns which give the fabric a silky feel and subtle natural sheen. Fabric feels "dense" in the hand despite being relatively thin. Has a soft, slightly structured drape. Double knit, so raw edges lie flat and don't curl, making the fabric easier to cut and sew. A perfect fabric for T-shirts, tops, dresses, sleepwear, men's wear and children's wear. Despite the high inherent stretch, fabric is not suitable for leggings or other fitted articles are it contains no stretch fibre. Red is a slightly toned down, ruby red, and is opaque on the skin. Swatches are available, please leave a note at check-out if you would like one.
About "soft type" vs "dense type": This fabric and the others shown in the photos on this page are marked as "dense type". Compared to the mercerised long staple cotton interlocks in the shop marked as "soft type", these have a more dense and ultra-smooth texture, whilst the "soft type" have a somewhat more plush texture and a lofty hand-feel.
