It has a substantial midweight hand that feels cozy and comfortable without being too heavy, making it lovely worn on its own or layered when the weather cools down.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe quality and recovery are what really made this fabric stand out to us. It stretches comfortably and springs back into shape, so it works just as beautifully for an oversized long-sleeve tee as it does for something more fitted. It’s one of those fabrics that makes us want to sew an entire cozy wardrobe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFabric Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a soft, substantial 100% cotton rib knit with plenty of stretch and excellent recovery.

Because of this, the color you see on your computer, tablet, or phone may not be an exact match to the fabric in person. If color is especially important for your project, we always recommend ordering a swatch first.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matchy Matchy Sewing Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50361133564144,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/3115\/7488\/files\/dark-and-light-blue-thin-stripe-cotton-rib-knit-fabric-hero.jpg?v=1788357489","url":"https:\/\/matchymatchysewingclub.com\/products\/dark-and-light-blue-thin-stripe-rib-knit","provider":"Matchy Matchy Sewing Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
