Could anything be smarter than this splendid rib knit? It's simultaneously eye-catching and incredibly comfortable, very soft and nicely stretchy.

The stripes are black on a white background, and the fabric has a marvelously appealing feel. A bit more than 50% stretch is coupled with good rebound for maximum comfort.

Great for T-shirts, twinsets, athletic attire, baby clothes, and so much more. If you're lucky enough to live near the beach you can't be without this fabric, and if you have kids in swimming lessons this is the perfect fabric for swimsuit coverups.

The stripes run from selvage to selvage. At 10.2 ounces per linear yard, this fabric weighs 6 ounces per square yard.
