Mesh

| What is mesh?

Mesh is a broad term for fabric characterized by open spaces between the yarns. Mesh fabric may be woven, knit, lace, net, crocheted, and more.

| How to wear mesh:

Known for its characteristic screen-like weave, this fabric is a go-to for shirts, leggings, shoes, and even your summer wardrobe staples.

| Maintaining mesh:

Cotton mesh fabrics may require special care, depending on the garment or end use.

Does mesh wrinkle?

The loose construction of a mesh fabric, regardless if it’s knit or woven, will naturally resist wrinkles.

Is mesh easy to clean?

The ease of care will depend on the end product, but most cotton mesh fabrics should be easy care. A gentle wash and air dry (for reshaping) should be good for most garments. Check your item’s care label for specific instructions.
