Scuba Knit Fabric – 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
- Width: 150 cm (60 inches)
Core Physical Features
Double-Knit Construction: It is made by knitting two layers of fabric together simultaneously. This creates a thicker, more stable material that is often reversible and looks the same on both sides.
Structured Stretch: Unlike standard jerseys that drape fluidly, scuba has a "springy" body that holds architectural shapes. It typically features 4-way stretch (stretching both horizontally and vertically) with excellent recovery.
Smooth & Lustrous Finish: The surface is exceptionally smooth with a fine-gauge knit, often displaying a subtle, low-luster sheen.
No-Fray Edges: Because it is a dense double-knit, the edges do not fray when cut, allowing for raw-edge designs.
Unlock the potential of your creative designs with our Scuba Knit Fabric, a premium choice for those seeking both structure and comfort in their apparel. Made from a high-quality blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, this fabric combines durability with just the right amount of stretch, providing a sophisticated, luxurious feel that is perfect for modern fashion.
Fabric Features and Benefits:
-
Composition: The unique combination of 95% polyester and 5% spandex ensures that the fabric holds its shape without compromising on flexibility. The polyester gives the fabric strength and longevity, while the spandex provides a touch of stretch for enhanced comfort and fit.
-
Weight and Feel: At 282gsm, this fabric has a substantial weight, giving it a slightly heavier, more luxurious feel while maintaining a soft and smooth texture. It’s designed for a full-bodied drape, meaning it holds structure without feeling too stiff, making it an ideal choice for both structured and relaxed silhouettes.
-
Four-Way Stretch: This fabric’s four-way stretch allows for maximum flexibility and comfort, making it perfect for form-fitting garments that need to move with the body. Whether you're designing a bodycon dress, a pair of sleek leggings, or a stylish skirt, Scuba Knit delivers the perfect amount of stretch for a flattering fit that moves with you.
-
Smooth and Lustrous Surface: Scuba Knit features a smooth surface with a subtle low-luster sheen, offering an understated elegance that adds depth and richness to your designs. The fine, tightly knitted construction gives it a refined look, perfect for high-fashion pieces or everyday wear.

Versatile Design Possibilities: The plain design of this fabric means it can easily be incorporated into a variety of designs, from sophisticated, structured looks to more relaxed, draped styles. It’s perfect for creating knit dresses, tailored tops, form-fitting garments, skirts, pants, and even unconstructed jackets. Its versatility makes it a go-to fabric for a wide range of fashion projects, from casual to couture.
Ideal Applications:
- Dresses & Skirts: Perfect for figure-hugging dresses or A-line skirts that require structure and a bit of stretch.
