What is the difference between interlock fabric and jersey
fabric?
Interlock is a special type of eight-lock knit cloth, but is
generally described as a double 1x1 rib with crossed sinker wales. The fabric
has a smooth surface on both sides, possess good wearing qualities. Has less
elasticity than ribs and does not develop prominent ribs when stretched in the
horizontal direction. Fancy fabrics in this category are made with color
arrangements, needle set-out, tucking, and combinations of the foregoing. Used
in sweaters, underwear and more.
Jersey fabric is a plain stitch knitted cloth in contrast to
rib-knitted fabric. Material may be made circular, flat or warp knitted; the
latter type jersey is sometimes known as tricot. Used in dressgoods,
sportswear, underwear, and often for t-shirts. This fabric gives good service
and launders very well. Jersey is a very popular staple fabric. Some fabric of
this name is woven, but it is more often a knit.
