What Is Interlock Knit Fabric?

Interlock is a double knit made on two needle sets, where two 1x1 rib structures are knitted into each other. The result looks the same on both sides: a smooth, fine face with no looped reverse. Compared with single jersey, interlock is more opaque, more stable and lies flat at cut edges, so it is easier to cut and sew into clean necklines and hems. In our library, cotton interlock for T-shirts and dresses mostly weighs 160–230 GSM, while cotton/polyester interlock for sweatshirts and streetwear runs heavier, at 260–320 GSM. Our online collection also includes nylon/spandex interlock for leggings and swimwear. Interlock feels soft and full, but it stretches less across the width than rib and is warmer than single jersey, so it can feel heavy in very light summer tops.

Interlock Knit Fabric FAQs

How is interlock different from single jersey?

Interlock is a double knit: it looks the same on both sides, does not curl at cut edges and is more opaque than single jersey. Single jersey is lighter and more fluid, with a looped reverse. In our library, cotton interlock for tees mostly weighs 180–230 GSM.

Which interlock should I choose for premium T-shirts?

Choose 180–230 GSM cotton interlock for a smooth, substantial tee, or cotton/spandex interlock if the fit is close to the body. For relaxed sweatshirts and streetwear, move to 265–320 GSM cotton/polyester interlock.

Can interlock be used for leggings and swimwear?

Yes. Our online collection includes nylon/spandex interlock, typically 180–240 GSM, for leggings, yoga wear and swimwear. Check stretch, recovery and colour fastness on a sample against your own specification before bulk.

Which tests matter for interlock T-shirts and leggings?

It depends on the blend. 100% cotton interlock for premium tees at 155–230 GSM is mainly checked for shrinkage, spirality and wet rubbing on dark shades. Nylon/spandex stretch interlock for leggings and swimwear needs perspiration fastness, light fastness and dimensional change, and heat-setting during finishing keeps it stable.

What is the minimum order quantity for interlock knit fabric?

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