Look a little closer.
Test lengthwise and crosswise stretch separately. Check recovery after repeated extension, opacity under tension and seam behaviour with the intended stitch.
MATERIAL GUIDE / KNITTED FABRICS
Designed around movement.
Knitted constructions use connected yarn loops. For apparel development, the practical questions are how the sample stretches, returns to shape and behaves at the seam.
Representative textile detail. Actual articles vary in composition and finish.

Looped construction · movement · comfort-led design
Develop the idea.
Match the garment pattern to the sample’s actual movement. Consider necklines, cuffs and body panels individually rather than applying a single stretch assumption.
Protect the final result.
Evaluate laundering on a trial garment and measure it again after relaxation. Confirm the final care method and dimensional tolerances before production.
Put it into words.
Send the article reference, garment type, colour direction, target quantity and destination. Ask for the confirmed technical sheet and assess a sewn sample before committing to bulk material.
