Bandage Knit
Nature — What Is Bandage Knit?
Bandage Knit is a dense, elastic knit fabric engineered for body-contouring fit (body-contouring = fabric that closely shapes to the body).
It is constructed with high elastane content to provide compression and strong recovery.
Scientific Structure (Explained Clearly)
Bandage knit is typically produced using circular knitting machines with tightly packed yarns and significant spandex (elastane = elastic synthetic fiber).
Structural Characteristics
- High elastane content
- Dense knit formation
- Thick, supportive structure
Fabric Quality Impact
- Strong compression effect
- Excellent stretch recovery
- Structured, sculpted silhouette
