What Is Single Jersey Fabric?

Short answer: Single jersey is a fine, stretchy knit fabric produced on a single needle bed — the face shows flat V-shaped stitches, the back shows loops. Altunkaya Tekstil knits it from 100% combed cotton yarn at 150-180 gsm in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul; it is the essential fabric for t-shirts, underwear and babywear. For body-fit garments a 92% cotton / 8% lycra stretch variant is available.

Wholesale Jersey Fabric — Common Questions

What is single jersey fabric?
Single jersey is a fine, stretchy knit fabric produced on a single needle bed: the face shows flat V-shaped stitches, the back shows loops. Altunkaya Tekstil knits it from 100% combed cotton yarn at 150-180 gsm — the essential fabric for t-shirts, underwear and babywear. A 92% cotton / 8% lycra stretch variant is available for body-fit garments.
What is combed cotton jersey and why does it matter?
Combed cotton (penye in Turkish) means the yarn is combed to remove short fibers and impurities before spinning. The result is a smoother, stronger, less-pilling jersey with a cleaner surface — the quality level expected by export brands. All our standard jersey is knitted from combed cotton yarn.
What GSM should I choose for t-shirt jersey?
Standard t-shirt jersey is 150-180 gsm. For premium and oversize t-shirts with a fuller drape, choose 200 gsm jersey. Lycra jersey comes in 170-180 and 190-200 gsm options for leggings, dresses and sportswear.
What is the difference between cotton jersey and lycra jersey?
100% cotton jersey is breathable but has limited stretch recovery. Lycra (elastane) jersey — 92% cotton / 8% lycra — stretches four ways and holds its shape, making it the choice for leggings, sportswear, dresses and any body-fit garment. For classic t-shirts and underwear, 100% combed cotton jersey is preferred.
Does jersey fabric shrink?
Cotton jersey can shrink 3-5% in the first wash by nature. Sanforized (pre-shrunk) finishing reduces this to a minimum. Our jersey is produced within garment-ready tolerances; we recommend relaxing the fabric before cutting.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale jersey fabric?
Our MOQ is 50 kg per color for both cotton jersey and lycra jersey. Stock colors ship in 2-5 business days; custom Pantone/RAL dyeing takes 10-15 business days. EU shipments arrive in 3-7 days with EUR.1 movement certificates.
