Jersey

Jersey fabric is a versatile knit material best known for its softness and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for drapes, tablecloths, and table skirting. Typically crafted from cotton, wool, or synthetic fibres, jersey fabric is easily recognised by its fine, single-knit construction. Its natural stretch and draping qualities make it perfect for creating elegant and functional décor items that require a smooth, flowing fit. 

Jersey fabric is also breathable, enhancing its suitability for both practical and aesthetic purposes in various settings. Available in multiple weights and compositions, jersey fabric can adapt to different seasons and needs, from lightweight tablecloths to heavier, more substantial table skirting. This adaptability ensures that jersey fabric remains a reliable option for diverse décor applications.

For all your jersey textile needs, turn to a reputable fabric wholesaler in Singapore such as Teng Joo Textiles, recognised for excellent quality, detailed craftsmanship, and exceptional customer service.
