Selecting knitwear fabric under 100 gsm
under 100 GSM is a planning band for knitwear. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
Very light cloth. Opacity and lining come before fibre branding.
For knitwear, the brief needs dimensional stability. A useful hand note is stable loop structure.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Jersey, interlock, pointelle and related knits.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.

Questions
- Does under 100 GSM mean better knitwear?
- No. Heavier is not better. It is only heavier.
