How do the fit and feel change when the 'rib finish' mentioned in knitwear descriptions is omitted?
When the tightening band commonly seen on the hem or cuffs of knitwear is omitted, you might wonder how it feels to wear.
By leaving out the ribbed band that tightens the sleeves and hem and finishing them thinly, the hem falls straight down without catching at the waist.
A rib finish refers to the stretchy ribbed knitting often called sibori. It tightens the knit fabric like an elastic band, holding the sleeves or waist in place and blocking drafts.
This knit from MOONDAL does not have these tightening bands[1]. Instead, the sleeve ends and hem are finished calmly with a thin profile[2]. Because there is no tension pulling at the waist and wrists, the hem does not catch on the body and roll up roundly. The line extending from the shoulders falls naturally and continuously to the very edge, offering a comfortable feel when worn[3].
hmmm, it is a choice to let the silhouette drape through the fabric's natural weight, rather than tying the garment to the body with bands.
We have not yet confirmed the specific sewing method used to finish the edges of the sleeves and hem.
