Two ecru jersey pieces with vertical loops on the face at left and horizontal loops on the back at right ### Technical back Rows of crowns give the reverse its horizontal texture. Compare other constructions: [rib](/materials/rib), [interlock](/materials/interlock), [piqué](/materials/pique) and [French terry](/materials/french-terry). ## Specifying single jersey on a tech pack - **Supply type and garment reference**: Specify fabric by the metre or finished garments. Include the style reference or tech pack. - **Fibre percentages**: List each fibre and its percentage, including any elastane. - **Finished GSM and tolerance**: Give the mass per unit area in g/m² and its tolerance, measured to ASTM D3776. Use the [GSM calculator](/tools/gsm-calculator) with a weighed fabric sample.[\[1\]](https://store.astm.org/d3776_d3776m-20r25.html "Source 1: store.astm.org: /d3776_d3776m-20r25.html") - **Usable width**: Give the usable width. ISO 22198 measures fabric width in a relaxed, tension-free state.[\[2\]](https://www.iso.org/standard/40768.html?browse=tc "Source 2: iso.org: /standard/40768.html?browse=tc") - **Yarn count and system**: Give the count with its units. Use the [yarn count converter](/tools/yarn-count-converter) to convert the count. - **Machine gauge**: State the [gauge](/glossary#gauge) in needles per inch of the needle bed. - **Stitch length**: State the length of yarn in each stitch. - **Wale and course counts**: Give the counts per unit length, measured to ASTM D8007.[\[3\]](https://store.astm.org/d8007-24.html "Source 3: store.astm.org: /d8007-24.html") - **Colour**: Give the colour reference for each style or fabric. - **Finish**: Specify the required finish and hand. - **Quantity**: Give metres for fabric or pieces per garment style. - **Test requirements**: Name the test methods and required limits.

Yes. Fabric-only orders are supplied by the metre. ### Are the catalogue GSMs a T-shirt weight range? No. Each weight belongs to the named quality. Jersey comes in different weights for different uses; yarn and fibre also affect its drape. ### Is single jersey the same as cotton? No. Jersey names the knit construction; [cotton](/materials/cotton) names the fibre. Specify the fibre content separately. ### Can single jersey be made with Lycra? Yes. We source LYCRA when you specify it. Include the required percentage in the brief; see [elastane jersey](/materials/spandex-elastane). ### What is the difference between single and double jersey? Single jersey uses one set of needles. Double knits link two fabrics during knitting, making a heavier cloth. [Rib](/materials/rib) is one double-knit construction. ### What is the price of single jersey fabric? We quote against your fabric specification and quantity. For a [price enquiry](/contact), give the composition, finished GSM, usable width, finish and colour, with the metres required. A question this does not answer?
