Single jersey turkish is a classic 100% cotton knitted textile that, with its 160 g/m² weight, provides a lightweight yet adequate coverage. Its breathable, moisture-absorbing and skin-friendly properties make it ideal for garments in direct skin contact, such as T-shirts, pyjamas or children's clothing. The 180 cm width allows for economical cutting, while its natural elasticity provides comfortable wear without the addition of elastane. The same is true of the other single jersey fabrics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Single jersey turkish
Belonging to the single jersey cotton base materials, Single jersey turkish is a classic, 100% cotton knitted textile, an excellent choice for everyday apparel purposes. The 160 g/m² weight material represents the optimal balance between lightness and adequate coverage, while the 180 cm width allows for economical cutting of garments of various sizes.Single jersey turkish, also known as cotton jersey, is one of the best-known and most widely used types of knitted fabric. The small “V”-shaped stitches appearing on the face side, and the horizontal loops visible on the back side, give it its characteristic structure. This knitting technology provides the material's natural elasticity and comfortable wear, without the need to add elastane.
Material composition and physical characteristics
Thanks to the natural properties of the 100% cotton material, it has excellent breathability and moisture absorption. The 160 gsm thickness provides enough body so that the material is not see-through, while still retaining its light, airy character. For a thicker fabric with a smooth surface on both sides, cotton interlock is the next step. This is particularly advantageous for garments that come into direct contact with the skin.
The extra 180 cm width allows for efficient cutting pattern layouts, reducing material waste. This is particularly important when manufacturing children's clothing or smaller-sized products, but it also offers an economical solution for adult clothing.
Applications
Single jersey cotton is a versatile textile that holds its own in many areas of the apparel industry. It is an excellent choice for making basic pieces, such as T-shirts, tops, vests and comfortable tunics. Due to its breathable properties, it is ideal for nightwear products such as pyjamas, nightgowns or robes.
The skin-friendly texture makes it particularly suitable for baby and children's apparel use, such as making bodysuits, rompers, undershirts and thin hats. The necks of undershirts and the edges of hats are finished with ribbing fabric. In addition, it is also an ideal base material for underwear products and comfortable casual wear, such as light summer trousers and homewear.
