Stretch Knit Crepe - Riga

The Riga Elastic Knit Crepe is a soft and elastic fabric composed of 94% polyester and 6% elastane, with a weight of 180 gr/m2 and a width of 150 cm. Its solid printed color combines an intense blue with 100% cyan ink, 77% magenta, 40% yellow, and 32% black, which gives it great depth and richness. This secondary color evokes calm and peace, and combines perfectly with shades of gray, green, and soft pinks. It is important to mention that the fabric is printed with the solid color on one side by digital textile printing, which means that it is not a dyed fabric but printed on one side.

The texture and elastic characteristics of this fabric make it suitable for a wide variety of garments, such as dresses, jumpsuits, t-shirts, skirts, pants, cardigans, and knitwear. In addition, being a synthetic fabric, it offers greater durability and wear resistance compared to other natural fabrics such as silk or cotton.

It is important to mention that for the care of this fabric, bleaching should be avoided and it should be ironed at a cool temperature. It can also be dry cleaned, but avoiding the use of trichloroethylene. To dry it, it is best to use a tumble dryer at a reduced temperature.

The Riga elastic knit crepe is manufactured using the sublimation printing technique on polyester, which allows for high fidelity in color reproduction and great resistance to fading. Through this technique, the desired design is printed on sublimation paper and then transferred by heat directly to the fabric, where it merges with the polyester fibers to create a durable and vibrant print.
