Semi-Midweight Knit
Our Soft Ponte
95% Rayon, 5% Spandex
Our slightly thicker, but non-restrictive fabric. It offers that "barely there" feel with a little more weight to it.
Soft Ponte has a great drape quality that has some fluidity but also offers structure to each style. Soft and smooth to the touch, this fabric is less clingy and will not stretch out as much when you wear it. Due to the tighter weave of this fabric, you may notice a more fitted appearance.

To preserve its quality, wash rayon jersey gently in cold water and air or flat dry. Our rayon/spandex blend minimizes shrinkage, ensuring lasting fit and comfort.
The Semi-Midweight Knit is really similar to our Lightweight Knit, it still creates beautiful dimension and drape, but there is more heft and slightly more structure to the styles.
The higher spandex count (up to 8%) gives this fabric a slight sheen as well, and a durability that most jersey knits wont have. (most jersey is a 98% rayon and 2% spandex). Of this blend the spandex is the most durable and when we blend more spandex into the knit - it creates a dressier, weightier, and more durable blend. Which means, less pilling, higher density and bounce back (no more over stretched sleeves or hem), and wrinkles fall away easily because of the weight and spandex count.
But the thing that we can really translate is the softness. We start with a higher twist yarn with longer fibers, which creates a smoother and stronger fabric. Think of a higher thread count in sheets, its just like that - which makes is silkier and smoother to the touch. And it minimizes the pilling too!
