What Is Striped Jersey Knit Fabric?
Striped jersey knit is a variation of traditional single-knit jersey fabric that incorporates vertical, horizontal, or diagonal stripe patterns. Made using cotton, polyester, rayon, or spandex blends, this fabric maintains all the signature traits of jersey—like softness, stretch, and drape—while adding a patterned aesthetic that’s ideal for fashion-forward designs.
Depending on the fiber content, striped jersey knit can be lightweight or medium-weight, suitable for layering or standalone garments.

Fabric Care Instructions
Striped jersey knits are low-maintenance and retain their stretch and color with proper care:
Machine wash cold with similar colors
Use mild detergent; avoid bleach
Tumble dry low or hang to dry to preserve fibers
Cool iron if needed on the reverse side
Pre-wash before cutting or sewing to reduce shrinkage
Always check the specific fiber blend, as rayon or spandex may need extra care.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are the stripes printed or woven into the fabric?
The stripes are knitted into the fabric pattern—not printed—so they won’t fade or peel over time.
Q: Is striped jersey good for both men’s and women’s fashion?
Yes. The clean stripe pattern works across categories and is commonly used in unisex apparel, basics, and activewear.
Q: Do you offer multiple stripe widths?
Yes. We stock fine stripes, bold stripes, multicolored options, and custom stripe variations in bulk quantities.
Q: Can I order in large yardage for my production run?
Absolutely. Fabric Base Inc. specializes in wholesale striped jersey knit fabric, shipped across North America.
