What are Medium weight Fabrics

Definition of Medium Weight Fabrics:
I have defined in my Shop Medium weight fabrics to be between 130 and 210 gsm.

  

 

Examples of Medium Weight Fabrics:

  • Twill: A durable fabric with a diagonal weave pattern, commonly used in trousers and jackets.
  • Jersey: A knit fabric known for its stretchability and softness, often used in t-shirts and dresses.
  • Linen: A breathable fabric made from flax fibers, suitable for summer clothing due to its lightweight yet structured nature.
  • Poplin: A tightly woven cotton fabric that is smooth and crisp, often used in shirts and blouses.
  • Satin: A glossy fabric that can be made from silk or synthetic fibers, commonly used for evening wear.

Applications of Medium Weight Fabrics: Due to their balanced characteristics, medium weight fabrics are ideal for:

  • Everyday clothing like blouses, skirts, and lightweight jackets.
  • Formal attire such as dresses or suits where a bit more structure is desired without sacrificing comfort.
  • Home textiles like curtains or cushion covers that require durability but also need to maintain an aesthetic appeal.
