This tubular cotton ribbing fabric is specially selected to coordinate with our Organic Cotton Jersey Fabric, giving you the perfect finishing fabric for your jersey sewing projects.

Made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, this ribbing combines the soft feel of cotton with the stretch and recovery needed for fitted garment finishes. Its substantial 260 gsm weight provides structure while remaining comfortable and flexible.

Use it to create coordinated cuffs, neckbands and waistbands when sewing with our Organic Cotton Jersey Fabric. It can also be used with other compatible knit fabrics when your project requires a stretchy ribbed finish.

Perfect for Finishing Knit Garments

Tubular ribbing is ideal for areas of a garment that need to stretch comfortably and recover after wear. It can be used for:

• Cuffs on sweatshirts and long-sleeve tops
• Neckbands and crew necklines
• Waistbands
• Hoodies
• Joggers
• Children's clothing
• Casual knitwear
• Stretch garment trims

Made to Coordinate with Our Organic Cotton Jersey

This tubular ribbing is made to go with our Organic Cotton Jersey Fabric, allowing you to create coordinated garments with a clean and professional finish.

The added spandex provides the elasticity and recovery needed for areas such as necklines, wrists and waistbands, while the cotton-rich composition keeps the ribbing soft and comfortable against the skin.

It is an excellent choice for finishing T-shirts, long-sleeve tops, children's garments, casualwear and other projects made with our Organic Cotton Jersey.

Tubular Construction

Unlike standard rib knit sold as an open-width fabric, this ribbing is knitted in a continuous tubular construction. The tube measures approximately 35 cm / 14" wide when laid flat.

The tubular format is particularly convenient for cutting cuffs, neckbands and waistbands and can help reduce the number of seams required depending on your pattern and finished measurements.

Recommended Sewing Needle

For best results, use a ballpoint or stretch sewing machine needle. A size 75/11 or 80/12 is a good starting point depending on the number of layers being sewn.
