Shaoxing Keqiao Maozan Textile Co., Ltd. produces, processes and supplies polyester-spandex interlock fabric from Keqiao, Shaoxing, inside the knitted textile cluster around China Light & Textile Industry City. Knitting, processing and raw material supply sit in one operation, so a program moves from yarn selection through knitting, dyeing and finishing to a packed roll without being handed between separate parties. We are a knit fabric manufacturer serving apparel brands, garment factories, importers and distributors working in activewear, intimate apparel and everyday knitwear.
A Double-Knit Producer, Not a Generic Fabric Trader
Our output is concentrated on knitted textiles for apparel and home textiles, with double-knit structures forming one of the deepest parts of the range. Interlock is a two-faced knit: both sides are knitted and finished, which is why the fabric resists edge curling, keeps its shape and stays opaque at normal garment weights. Polyester-spandex interlock takes that structure into performance territory, and our Polyester-Spandex Interlock Fabric Supplier program is built around it.
The same knitting and finishing lines support the neighbouring Double-Knit Fabric family, so a customer developing a capsule collection can source interlock, Ponte Roma and pique styles from one technical contact and one quality routine.

Construction, Surface and Recovery Behaviour
- Two-face interlock construction gives a smooth, compact surface on the inside and outside, so the fabric sits flat under print, embroidery and bonding.
- Polyester carries the dimensional stability and abrasion performance; elastane supplies the stretch and the quick return that keeps knees, seats and cuffs from bagging out.
- Recovery is the defining property of this quality — the fabric follows movement and returns to shape through a full wear cycle.
- Lightweight to mid-weight builds keep the garment easy to wear and reasonably breathable for training and daily use.
- Low-curl edges and stable openings simplify cutting, sewing and hemming on overlock and flatlock lines.
- Easy-care laundering suits garments that are washed frequently and dried without special handling.
Application Fit Across Activewear and Everyday Knitwear
Polyester-spandex interlock is chosen where a garment has to hold a close line without restricting the body. Yoga wear and leggings benefit from the four-way give and the opacity that lets the fabric be used as a single layer. Gym wear, training tops and sports bras use the same properties plus the shape retention that survives repeated washing. Slim-fit pants and bodywear rely on the recovery behaviour most.
Beyond sport, the quality works for intimate apparel and base layers, where stable stretch and a soft, non-binding fit matter more than surface texture. Home textiles and garment accessories also sit inside our output, so programs that combine apparel fabric with trims and secondary components can be coordinated through one supply channel.
Configuration, Customization and Sampling
We run flexible ODM and OEM customization. Weight, width, composition ratio, stretch direction, shade and surface hand are fixed at the sample stage and then locked for bulk. Colour is developed against a lab dip or an approved reference, and the finishing route is chosen to match the garment's wash and wear conditions rather than a generic standard.
- Customized production against a tech pack, a physical swatch or a reference garment.
- Small-batch sampling for development and market testing before a bulk commitment.
- Quick re-orders against a retained shade, construction and finishing recipe.
- Roll length, tube, bagging and labelling arranged to the customer's packing instruction.
- OEKO-TEX certified fabric options for programs with restricted-substance requirements.
Quality Control from Greige to Final Roll
We operate full-process quality management: inspection follows each production stage, and the finished fabric passes a final inspection against the customer's stated requirements and the applicable international standards. Our laboratory is equipped for fabric testing, which supports shade, weight, width and physical property checks before goods leave the plant. Records are kept per order so a repeat can be produced against the same parameters.

Packing, Documentation and Repeat Supply
Every shipment is packed to the customer's roll length, core, bag and label requirement, and is accompanied by the composition, weight, width, shade and care information needed for garment labelling. Our position in Keqiao gives direct access to the region's yarn, dyeing and finishing supply chain, which is what allows us to hold a shade and a construction stable across repeat orders.
Send the end use, target weight and width, composition, colour reference, finish and packing requirement. During weekdays we answer inquiries within 12 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is polyester-spandex interlock fabric used for?
It is used for garments that need close fit with free movement: yoga wear, gym wear, sports bras, activewear tops, leggings and slim-fit pants, plus intimate apparel where stable stretch and a non-constricting fit are required.
How does the fabric behave during wear and washing?
The polyester content supports dimensional stability and abrasion resistance while the elastane provides stretch and recovery. The result is a fabric that resists bagging at stress points, keeps its shape through extended wear and tolerates easy daily care.
Can you develop the fabric from our sample or tech pack?
Yes. We work from a physical swatch, a reference garment or a written specification and provide ODM/OEM customization covering weight, width, composition, stretch, shade and surface hand, approved through a sample before bulk.
Do you support sampling and repeat orders?
Small-batch sampling is part of our normal development flow, and we retain the shade, construction and finishing recipe so re-orders can be produced consistently against the original approval.
How is quality controlled before shipment?
Inspection takes place after each production stage, and finished fabric receives a final inspection against the customer's requirements and applicable international standards. Our laboratory carries out fabric testing to verify weight, width, shade and physical properties.
Are OEKO-TEX certified options available?
Yes. We offer OEKO-TEX certified fabric options for programs with restricted-substance and sustainability requirements, and we confirm the relevant option when the order specification is agreed.
