Interlock
Interlock is a soft, durable knit fabric characterized by its double-layer construction, providing excellent stretch and recovery, making it ideal for a variety of apparel applications.
About Interlock
Interlock fabric is a type of weft knit that features two layers of fabric knitted together, resulting in a smooth surface on both sides. This construction gives interlock fabrics a greater thickness and weight compared to single jersey knits, while also enhancing their durability and opacity. Commonly made from fibers such as cotton, polyester, or rayon, interlock is known for its excellent stretch and recovery properties, making it suitable for form-fitting garments, activewear, and children's clothing.
