What exactly is jersey? Single jersey is made by interlooping stitches in rows or columns. The front side, formed by knit stitches, is smooth, while the back side, made of purl stitches, has a ribbed texture. This distinctive knit structure is easy to recognize.
Jersey is very stretchy and tends to lose its shape easily. To prevent that, we've enriched our cotton and viscose jersey fabrics with a small amount of elastane (5%). This helps garments maintain their shape while keeping all the benefits of the fabric. It gently hugs the body without clinging too tightly, allowing for freedom of movement.
Single jersey knit is an incredibly versatile material. We primarily use it to make T-shirts, leggings, pyjamas, and dresses. It's also a perfect choice for children's clothing — durable, natural, and exceptionally comfortable for our active little ones.

In interlock knits, both the front and back sides look like the right side of jersey — smooth surfaces showing only knit stitches. These fabrics are lightweight and stretchy. Interlock is ideal for everyday and activewear. It’s soft, completely opaque, and can be used on both sides. The edges don’t curl when cut.
We use it to make clothing for our most delicate and demanding customers — newborns.

Sweatshirt knit is soft and stretchy. It’s opaque, absorbs moisture well, and allows the skin to breathe. There are two main types: brushed and loop-back.
Loop-back sweatshirt knit has small loops on the inner side. It’s wrinkle-resistant and extremely versatile — a great choice for sporty styles, sweatpants, flared pants, treggings, dresses, or hoodies.

Piqué knit (informally also known as "Lacoste") is a soft, substantial, and slightly stretchy fabric with a distinctive texture on the right side. What sets piqué apart are its small, regular bumps or diamond-shaped patterns that create a three-dimensional surface, making it noticeably different from smooth knits. It also has a more matte finish. This knit is highly breathable, allowing the skin to breathe — perfect for warmer days. Piqué is durable and resistant to stretching and deformation, which means garments made from it retain their shape even after many washes.
Commonly used for everyday wear, piqué’s unique texture adds a touch of elegance, making it suitable even for more formal occasions. That’s why we chose it for our special children’s designs — especially shirts that combine comfort and refined style.
Flax is a natural, plant-based fabric. It absorbs moisture exceptionally well and dries in an instant. Because it allows the skin to breathe and offers superb airflow, it is a perfect choice for hot summer days. Linen is naturally resistant to bacteria, mould and dust mites, and it does not irritate the skin, making it ideal for allergy-prone wearers.
This fibre also boasts outstanding tensile and abrasion strength. It does not pill, and with every wash it becomes even softer and more pleasant to the touch. Linen contains no elastic fibres, so creasing is part of its nature—an unmistakable trait that many consider part of its charm. Slubs and slight colour variations in the yarn are normal and underscore its authentic character.
Please note: linen typically shrinks after washing by about 5–7 %, a normal and expected property of the fabric.

Muslin is made through a special combing process that gives the fabric its exceptional softness and lightness. It features a smooth, semi-sheer weave. In our collection, you’ll find natural muslin made from organic cotton — safe even for babies. It’s gentle, breathable, and helps prevent sweating and overheating, while effectively absorbing moisture.
A key characteristic of muslin is its tendency to shrink more than other fabrics after washing — typically between 5% and 10%.

Softshell is a fabric mainly used in outdoor designs. Its outer layer is soft and flexible, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement. It offers excellent protection against wind and cold, shields from moisture and light rain, and is resistant to damage. Softshell fabric is also highly breathable, helping to prevent overheating and excessive sweating.

Cotton is one of the most commonly used materials in the textile industry — thanks to its many advantages, high yield, and low production cost. It’s a plant-based fiber, obtained from the cotton plant. After the flowers bloom and wither, seed capsules form in their place. These capsules are filled with soft, fluffy fibers that resemble tiny cotton balls — this is where cotton fibers come from, which are later spun into the yarns we use in our knits.
Cotton is also biodegradable and renewable, making it an eco-friendly raw material.
Cotton knit is exceptionally comfortable to wear, easy to wash and iron, and makes garments durable — helping them look great for a long time.
Thermal insulation properties
Excellent dyeability
Moisture absorption (hygroscopicity)
Soft, delicate fibers
High heat resistance
Fiber stability
Durability and resistance to damage
Cotton fibers are breathable, helping to regulate body temperature by preventing both overheating and chilling. Cotton doesn’t pill or fuzz, making it a favorite for those who appreciate easy-care clothing. Its resistance to high temperatures makes it especially suitable for children's clothing, where increased hygiene is essential. Cotton products are recommended for everyone — including people with sensitive skin — as the fabric is gentle and non-irritating.
Cotton is the primary raw material in our production. We use it to make T-shirts, long sleeves, vests, hoodies, sweatpants, leggings, shorts, dresses, pyjamas, skirts, as well as reversible scarves and hats.
Bamboo viscose is a fabric made from a natural raw material using a synthetic process. It’s derived from bamboo — a plant with numerous advantages. Bamboo is highly efficient, being one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. Its cultivation doesn’t require harmful chemicals or pesticides, as it naturally possesses antibacterial properties that protect it. The processed fibers from bamboo stalks are transformed into bamboo yarn, which serves as the base for creating soft, comfortable knit fabrics.
Soft and gentle on the skin
Smooth, pleasant texture
Drapes beautifully and has a flowing quality
Cool to the touch
Easily dyed
High moisture absorbency
Doesn’t generate static
Breathable and offers excellent thermoregulation (keeps you cool in the heat and warm when it’s colder)
Delicate bamboo viscose is suitable even for sensitive skin. Thanks to the addition of elastane, the fabric adapts well to the body and easily returns to its original shape. It's important to handle wet viscose with care, as the fibers are much weaker when damp. To keep bamboo viscose garments in good condition, wash and spin them gently.
We use bamboo viscose to make bodysuits, pyjamas, dresses, and headbands.
Merino wool takes quite a journey — from Merino sheep all the way to your wardrobe. This exceptional fiber challenges the traditional view of wool: it doesn’t itch and is incredibly soft! As unbelievable as it sounds, anyone who’s worn it will agree. That’s thanks to its ultra-fine fibers, which can be as thin as 11–18 microns.
Soft and elastic fibers that feel pleasant and don’t irritate the skin
Excellent thermoregulation — it wicks moisture away instead of trapping it
Naturally wrinkle-resistant, making it great for packing and travel
Stain-resistant — the outer hydrophobic layer helps keep the fabric clean and allows stains to be easily wiped off
Maintains hygienic conditions by evaporating moisture quickly, preventing bacterial growth
We use merino wool mainly to make winter hats, scarves, neck warmers, and turtleneck collars.
Flax
Growing flax is straightforward: it needs no synthetic fertilisers or pesticides and consumes far less water than cotton. When processed in the traditional way, flax is completely biodegradable — a clear environmental win.
Outstanding breathability
High moisture absorption
Hypo-allergenic
Naturally antibacterial
Resistant to abrasion and stretching
Thanks to these properties, flax has countless uses. It is widely chosen for clothing, household linens and curtains. With its eco-friendly origin and impressive performance, this natural fibre easily outclasses many modern synthetics.
At MyBasic we turn flax into lightweight summer headwear, offering styles for babies, children and adults alike.
At MyBasic, you’ll find two main additives among our materials: polyester and elastane.
Adding polyester to cotton sweatshirt fabric brings many benefits.
We use only the minimum necessary amount to improve the technical properties of the knit. To minimize its environmental impact, we use recycled polyester.
A fabric composed of 90% cotton and 10% polyester will feel light, soft, and natural to the touch, but it will also be more durable than material without this addition.
Due to the knit structure (three-thread), cotton is on the outside and inside, while the “scaffolding” of polyester is hidden in the middle, meaning the polyester doesn’t come into contact with the skin.
Here are the key reasons why polyester is added to cotton in these types of materials:
Increased durability and strength. Polyester is much more resistant to abrasion and stretching than cotton. Adding this fiber makes the fabric: more resistant to tearing and mechanical damage, able to maintain a long-lasting, attractive appearance.
Better shape retention. Cotton tends to stretch and deform after washing. Polyester stabilizes the knit, helping clothes retain their shape. It also reduces the risk of stretching or shrinking and prevents the fabric from bagging in sensitive areas (like knees, elbows, or seat).
Faster drying. Polyester is lighter than cotton, so it dries faster and inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi by not retaining moisture. A material that airs out and dries faster is better protected against unpleasant odors. This is especially important for thick, cozy sweatshirt fabrics.
Improved thermoregulation and comfort. A fabric with polyester remains breathable but gains better technical properties, including faster moisture wicking.
Better wrinkle resistance. A knit with polyester wrinkles less and doesn’t require intensive ironing.
Adding polyester to brushed sweatshirt fabric also ensures greater durability and improved heat retention.
A small addition of elastane in the fabric (in our case, 5-6%) improves the technical properties of the material without disrupting the characteristics of the natural fibers — creating an optimal balance between wearing comfort and natural feel.
The addition of elastane in fabrics (in our case, cotton or bamboo viscose fabric) brings very specific and noticeable improvements to the material’s performance. Here are the most important benefits of elastane:
Wearing comfort - fabric with elastane is softer, more flexible, and “moves” together with the body. Clothes do not restrict movement, don’t pinch or chafe - making them much more pleasant to wear.
Fit to the body - the fabric fits the body better without being stiff. Clothes look more aesthetically pleasing.
Durability and resistance to deformation - elastane prevents the fabric from stretching out (e.g., knees in leggings, elbows in sweatshirts). The fabric returns to its original shape after washing and wearing.
Less pilling and wrinkling — fabric with elastane wrinkles less and pills less in areas of intensive friction.
At MyBasic, we make our clothing using only high-quality materials certified with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 — the world’s leading safety standard for textiles. Fabrics bearing this label are free from harmful substances in concentrations that could negatively impact human health. This includes pesticides, chlorophenols, formaldehyde, allergenic dyes, banned azo dyes, and extractable heavy metals.
Additionally, the knits used in our garments hold the "Human-friendly" and "Child-safe" certifications, ensuring they are gentle on the skin and safe even for the youngest wearers.
