Taupe melange sits within a calm, warm grey-brown scale. The melange effect gives an even look across the fabric, and the colour works as a neutral base in collections where you want to avoid harsh contrasts. 2/1 rib has clearly defined ribs and more body than light rib, so the quality is often used for garments where edges and finishes need to hold their shape.

The rib is often used for rib trims, necklines, sleeve hems, beanies and fitted tops in childrenswear and womenswear. The heavy weight also makes it relevant for smaller runs where you want a more compact look without moving into sweatshirt fabric.

Focus on elasticity: 4-way stretch provides good freedom of movement, and the elastane helps the rib recover neatly so the garment keeps its shape wash after wash.

Fabric shops and smaller producers typically choose this type of rib as a standard item for matching trims on jersey and sweat qualities. 300 g/m² makes it suitable when your customers ask for a rib with more body and less “floppiness”.

Wash at 30 degrees, inside out. Avoid tumble drying to preserve stretch and shape.

Combine with solid colour core jerseys from Solid colour jersey to create a coherent assortment.
