Jersey is a fabric made in a plain weave. It is not properly a fabric, since it is not loom-made and therefore has no warp and weft. The name refers to most industrial knitting products made on circular knitting machines of high fineness. Produced on knitting machines, it is elastic in both length and width and when made on a chain has warp-knitting characteristics. It can be obtained from any textile fiber: the most commonly used are cotton, wool, and viscose. It finds application in all fields: from furniture to clothing, as a lining and backing for technofibers; laminated to leather and rubber in footwear
