Abstract Doodle Print Rayon Jersey 190 GSM, 170 cm

A single-jersey print in 96% rayon and 4% spandex, 190 GSM on a 170 cm width, carrying a bold abstract doodle print. The cloth is knitted first and printed after — the rayon gives the fluid drape and the cool, dry hand, and the 4% spandex gives the gentle give a jersey needs. Because the print sits on a rayon ground it reads softer and more “fashion” than a poly print would: a blouse cloth, a dress cloth, a kidswear cloth.

Full specification

Customization	Available — the print, the ground shade, the weight and the width are confirmed at quotation. Send artwork (AI / PDF / a high-res jpg) or pick a stock shade and we print to it.
Knitting technics	A single-jersey knit. The cloth is a weft-knit jersey — the natural give of a tee, with the 4% spandex adding a little recovery. It is smooth and light on the face, with the loop structure on the back. The print is applied after knitting, not knitted in, so it is a surface design on a fluid base.
Composition	96% rayon (viscose), 4% spandex. Rayon gives the fluid drape and the slightly cool, dry hand; the 4% spandex is what lets a gathered neckline or a shirred panel open and then settle instead of permanently stretching.
Yarn	Rayon and a bare spandex laid in at the needle; counts are set at order.
Yarn count	Other
Weight	190 GSM / 5.6 oz/yd². A blouse-weight jersey — heavy enough to be a dress or a top with body, light enough to gather.
Width	170 cm / 67 inch. A standard single-jersey width; the print repeats across it.
Colour	Stock shades quoted by number (No.001–No.096), or printed to your own artwork. On a print the “shade” is really the artwork — send the file and the ground colour and we match both.
Print method	Digital direct-to-garment from 300 kg, rotary screen from about one tonne. Digital is the fast, low-volume route (a lab strike-off in days); rotary is the route once the volume justifies the screen cost. Both lay the colour on the rayon face.
Hand	Fluid and a little cool from the rayon, with the dry, papery note of a print; the spandex keeps it from bagging at a gathered seam.
Stretch & recovery	Opens roughly 30–40% across the width from the knit and the 4% spandex; recovery is light. Fine for gathers and gentle shirring; not a compressive activewear stretch.
Shrinkage	3–5% length and 2–3% width on the first wash, controlled by heat setting.
Pilling	Grade 3–4. The rayon ground is a regenerated cellulosic, so treat it like a viscose: avoid high-abrasion points and it will surface-fuzz before it holes.
Fastness	Wash and light fastness standard. On a print the one to watch is wet rubbing — a bold print on rayon can transfer a little colour when rubbed hard while wet, so keep the care label simple: cool wash, short cycle, wash inside out.
Making up	A ball-point or jersey needle, a light tension. The print is a surface, so a straight stitch is fine; match the pattern at the seams if the repeat is large, or let it run — an abstract doodle hides mismatch better than a geometric would.
Cutting	Lays and cuts like any jersey; a sharp blade, mark the grain off the wales. The abstract pattern needs no directional layout, so the marker wastes less than a one-way print would.
Pressing	Low to medium, through a cloth; do not press hard on the print or you flatten the rayon and glaze the colour. Steam lifts the rayon; a hot shoe dulls it.
Abrasion	Moderate. The rayon face is the wear surface; it will surface-fuzz before it holes. Fine for blouses and dresses, not for a seat-belt rub point.
Origin	Shaoxing City, Zhejiang, China
MOQ	300 kg per design / shade.
Price	US$ 15.15 / kg (300–999 kg) · US$ 13.77 / kg (1,000 kg+)
Yield	≈ 3.1 running metres per kg at 190 GSM × 170 cm (≈ US$ 4.89 per running metre, ≈ US$ 2.88 per m²). At the 1,000 kg+ price that is ≈ US$ 4.45 per running metre, ≈ US$ 2.62 per m².
Lead time	Stock shades ship from the lot on hand; a printed strike-off adds 5–7 days for your approval, then bulk (digital) or screen engraving (rotary) before bulk.
Packing	Roll-packed, about 20 kg per roll, poly bag inside a woven sack.
Sample	Hanger swatch and shade card free; a printed strike-off against your artwork charged at cost and credited against the bulk order.
Documents	Invoice, packing list, B/L, certificate of origin; test reports on request.
Care	Machine wash cool (30°C), short cycle, mild detergent, wash inside out, dry flat-ish. Do not bleach, do not tumble hot; press low through a cloth.

The print is laid on, not knitted in

The first thing to know is that this is a print, applied after the cloth is knitted. That is the difference between this and a jacquard: a jacquard’s pattern is in the stitch and will not wash off, while a print sits on the rayon face and must be fastness-managed. The trade is that a print lets you run a one-off doodle or a customer’s artwork at 300 kg, where a jacquard would never be worth the programming.

The cost of the print is one fastness: wet rubbing. A bold print on rayon, rubbed hard while wet, can transfer a little colour. It is not a fault you see in normal wear — it shows up in a lab rub test and in a careless hot wash — so the care label does the work: cool, short, inside out. The print also does not penetrate: the back is lighter than the face, so this is a one-way cloth.

Rayon is why it drapes

Ninety-six percent of this cloth is rayon. That is why it falls the way it does and why it feels cool and dry rather than plastic. The 4% spandex is the quiet partner: it gives the cloth a little recovery so a gathered neckline or a shirred yoke opens and then settles instead of permanently stretching.

The honest limit is the rayon one. A viscose-rich cloth surface-fuzzes under hard abrasion and it does not love a long, hot, wet cycle. For a blouse, a dress, a kidswear top it is exactly right; for a high-rub workwear panel it is the wrong cloth, and we will say so.

190 GSM is a blouse-weight print

One hundred and ninety GSM is heavier than a fashion tee and lighter than a sweatshirt — it is the band where a printed jersey can be a finished top on its own. With a bold abstract doodle it reads as a designed cloth rather than a blank one, so it carries a simple silhouette without looking plain.

And the abstract pattern is a planning gift: because it has no up or down, the marker can be laid without reserving for a one-way print, so you recover a few percent of cloth you would lose on a directional floral. Spec it for tops, dresses and kidswear, not for anything that needs a compressive hold.

Four things that go wrong on a printed rayon jersey. Wet rub: wash cool, short, inside out — a bold print on rayon transfers a little colour when rubbed hard while wet. One-way: the print is on the face only, the back is lighter, so cut and place it one-way. Rayon care: cool, dry flat-ish. Shade: send the artwork and the ground colour, not a paper chip.

The printed cloths sit next to the Rayon Spandex Floral Print 220 GSM for a heavier print, and the Modal Jersey 120 GSM for a plain fluid top. The rest of the range is on the fabrics page.
