Bamboo Spandex Jersey Knit

Indulgently soft with a cool, fluid glide, this premium bamboo jersey delivers the ultimate luxury handfeel. Crafted from 92% bamboo-derived rayon with 8% spandex, it offers a silky, cool-to-the-touch finish, remarkable breathability, and reliable bounce-back recovery.

At 240 GSM (7.08 oz/sq. yd), this fabric is significantly heavier and more opaque than standard T-shirt jerseys. The added weight provides a liquid, elegant drape that skims the body without clinging or showing undergarment lines, while the 40% vertical and 30% cross-grain stretch gives garments effortless movement and flexible comfort.

What to Make

The heavier weight, lush surface, and fluid movement make this fabric versatile across loungewear, daywear, and base layers:

Fitted & Draped Tops: Ruched tees, cowl-neck tops, mock turtlenecks, wrapped silhouettes, and sleek bodysuits that stay tucked and opaque.

Dresses with Movement: Maxi dresses, wrap dresses, goddess gowns, and slip-style midi dresses where natural, fluid weight is essential.

Luxury Loungewear & Sleepwear: Flowy wide-leg lounge pants, drapey robes, camisoles, tailored pajama sets, and nightshirts that feel weightless against the skin.

Everyday Leggings & Bike Shorts: The 240 GSM weight provides coverage for casual, low-impact leggings, bike shorts, and smoothing undershorts.

Undergarments & Bralettes: High-waisted briefs, boy shorts, and soft-cup lounge bras for sensitive skin.

Baby & Toddler Apparel: Gentle, breathable swaddles, knotted gowns, and everyday rompers that hold up to active movement.

Sewing & Care Recommendations

Needle: Stretch needle, size 75/11 or 80/12

Cutting Tip: Rayon knits can shift easily; cut on a single flat layer with pattern weights and a sharp rotary cutter rather than pins and scissors.

Stabilization: Use clear elastic or knit stay tape along shoulder seams, armholes, and waistbands to keep the fluid weight from pulling garments out of shape over time.

Care Instructions: Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with gentle detergent. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry low. Store heavier garments folded rather than hung to prevent vertical stretching.
