Class Acts Exclusive Lady Ewanmel Long Knitted Jersey Black

Jersey is a single-knit cotton fabric that’s known for its stretch and softness. Because of how jersey is knit, there is a natural elasticity without using stretch fibers like elastane. You’ll recognize jersey as the fabric used to make your favorite cotton tee-shirts, but did you know jersey is also sometimes used to make bedding and sheets? Sheets made from jersey are stretchy, soft, and release wrinkles more easily than percale, another cotton fabric typically used to make sheets.

Jersey fabric is thus named because it was first produced on the Channel Island of Jersey during the medieval era. In the twentieth century, it was primarily associated with underwear.
