What Is Double Knit Fabric?

Double knit fabric is knitted on two sets of needles at once, a cylinder and a dial, so two layers of loops are linked into a single, thicker fabric. Compared with single jersey, a double knit is more stable, more opaque and lies flat at cut edges. Double knit is a family rather than one fabric: interlock, rib, Ponte Roma, scuba and many double-knit jacquards all belong to it. With 977 qualities, it is the second-largest structure in our library after single jersey. Most weigh 220–310 GSM; cotton/polyester is the biggest blend for sweatwear and trousers, 100% cotton leads for T-shirts, and nylon/spandex serves activewear. A double knit uses more yarn than single jersey, so it is warmer and drapes less, which can feel heavy in very light summer tops.

Double Knit Fabric FAQs

Is every double knit fabric interlock?

No. Interlock is one type of double knit. Rib, Ponte Roma, scuba and many double-knit jacquards are also double knits. They share two needle sets but differ in surface, stretch and body.

Should I choose double knit or single jersey for T-shirts?

Choose single jersey, mostly 165–230 GSM in our library, for a lighter, more fluid tee. Choose 190–260 GSM double knit for a heavier, more opaque tee whose hems lie flat.

What matters when choosing double knit for trousers?

Weight and recovery. Most double knit trouser qualities in our library weigh 250–320 GSM; a cotton/polyester/spandex blend helps knees and seat recover. Check recovery on a sample after sitting and bending.

Which tests should I set for double knit trousers and sweatshirts?

For cotton/polyester double knit at 250–330 GSM, set shrinkage in length and width and pilling, the two lines sweatshirts and joggers are judged on, and write the drying method next to any shrinkage limit. Nylon/spandex double knit for yoga wear needs perspiration and light fastness instead.

What is the minimum order quantity for double knit fabric?

Stock fabric orders start at 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour. Custom-colour orders start at 200 kg per colour.
