The jersey fabric is a weft-knitted fabric with very good stretchability in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, and the transverse extensibility is much better than that in the longitudinal direction. The jersey fabric has good moisture absorption and air permeability.
Interlock fabric is a kind of weft-knitted fabric, the fabric is relatively thick, the touch is relatively soft, and the lateral extensibility is relatively good.
