Taupe melange sits in a calm, warm grey-brown range. 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 pronounced ribs and more body than lightweight rib, so this quality is often used for garments where edges and finishes need to keep their shape.

The rib fabric is commonly used for rib cuffs, necklines, sleeve finishes, beanies, and close-fitting tops in childrenswear and womenswear. The high 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 garments keep their shape wash after wash.

Fabric shops and smaller producers typically choose this type of rib as a standard stock item for matching trims on cotton jersey and jogger 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 base jerseys from Solid colour jersey to build a cohesive range.
