Designer Marylou Marsh describes this intense rib knit as exemplifying "that olive floating around in your martini! It is surprisingly attractive to the eye; it seems to work effortlessly to attract all types and skin tones. It is a cool yellow/green, because of the blue undertones." It's splendid either alone or when paired with other fabrics in the ML Marsh Collection: Organic Designer Fabrics.

Marylou says the rib fabric is "good for any body-conscious design and fit, because the fabric has recovery without the element of lycra. It's one of my favorite fabrics to work with because you can tailor it, but it's also very comfortable and easy to wear and design." With approximately 55% stretch, it's wonderful for clothing the whole family, from slinky skirts to baby kimonos and everything in-between.

You'll find this material a much-needed addition to so many wardrobes. The intense hue is perfect for fall and winter wear while also adding an unexpected touch of color during the other seasons. It layers splendidly, too.

As with all of our dyed fabrics, this gorgeous choice is colored using low-impact fiber-reactive dyes. It's tubular, so the fabric measures about 28.5" wide if left uncut or 56" wide when cut open. At approximately 12 ounces/linear yard, the fabric weighs around 7.5 ounces per square yard.

Knit in the US, from US-grown organic cotton.
