Rib knits are knit with a rib stitch which forms wales of knit that are alternating from one side of the fabric to the other. This makes for a very stretchy, comfortable knit that hugs close to the body. This capacity makes for clothing that can fit a wide range of shapes. Baby Rib is a very fine rib knit usually made with single spun, combed cotton fibers. The thinner threads make for a smoother surface for heat transferring, painting, and stamping than our regular Rib Knit, while maintaining the same 100% stretch.
