DROP NEEDLE STRIPE FABRIC
91% Polyester · 9% Spandex · 230 GSM · 156 CM

The Drop Needle Stripe Fabric is a knitted textile characterized by its vertical stripe pattern created through selective needle drop techniques during the knitting process. The composition of 91% Polyester and 9% Spandex delivers a fabric with controlled stretch and structural recovery. At 230 GSM with a width of 156 CM, this material provides substantial opacity with a defined surface texture. The drop needle technique creates raised ridges and valleys in the knit structure, producing visual stripes without added yarns or printing. The polyester base offers dye affinity for solid or variegated coloration, while the spandex ensures the striped texture remains consistent under tension.

STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGES
Drop Needle Stripe Effect The selective needle dropping creates permanent vertical ridges and grooves in the knit structure, producing a striped appearance that does not fade or wash out.
Texture Retention The striped surface geometry maintains its definition through 50+ wash cycles without flattening, as the structure is mechanically set during knitting.
Stretch Recovery The 9% Spandex content delivers elongation of 70-100% with recovery deviation below 3.5%, preserving stripe alignment during garment wear.
Medium-Weight Density At 230 GSM, the fabric provides opacity rating of 97% under tension, suitable for garments requiring coverage without added bulk.

FAQ
Does the stripe pattern stretch out of shape?
The drop needle stripe is structurally knit into the fabric, not printed or applied. The stripe geometry maintains its shape even when stretched to 60% of maximum elongation. When tension is released, the stripes return to their original spacing.
What is the recommended sewing needle for this fabric?
Ballpoint needles size 75/11 are recommended to prevent fiber breakage. The 9% spandex content requires stretch-compatible thread. Test sewing on sample material to confirm seam strength and stripe alignment.
How does the 156 CM width benefit garment production?
The 156 CM width provides efficient cutting for apparel applications. It allows full-width cutting for dress fronts, pant legs, and jacket panels with minimal waste compared to narrower widths.
Is the stripe visible on both sides of the fabric?
The drop needle effect is visible on the face side of the fabric. The reverse side shows a smoother surface with subtle stripe shadowing. The fabric can be used with either side as the face, depending on design preference.
