Our rib fabric collection is dominated by 95% cotton / 5% spandex and 95% polyester / 5% spandex blends for stretch and recovery, plus cotton-polyester blends (65/35 and 60/40) for durability, along with viscose-spandex options for a softer drape.
Most rolls run 150cm to 185cm wide, with 175cm the most common width in stock.
Rib fabric is priced per yard from $19.99–$29.99 on most styles (up to $57.99 for premium blends). Volume pricing on most fabrics applies: 5% off 22–42 yards, 10% off 43–70 yards, and 30% off 70+ yards. There is no minimum order — buy a single yard or a full production run.
Swatch cards are available on any rib fabric for a small fee before you commit to a larger order.
We ship rib fabric to 130+ countries from our Foshan, China warehouse, with duties and taxes included in the price. Typical lead time is about a week.
Our facility and products are OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certified.

Lighter rib fabric around 160–220 gsm suits fitted tops, t-shirts, and dresses, while heavier rib from 250–420 gsm holds up better as cuffs, waistbands, and sweatshirt trims. See our weight guides linked above for specifics, or browse the blog for more detail.
Cotton-spandex rib fabric offers softness and breathability for everyday wear, while polyester-spandex rib is more durable and colorfast for activewear and repeated washing. Cotton-polyester blends balance cost and performance for general apparel.
