Post Subject: fabric for t shirts
So, I''m no stranger to t shirt making, but I want to start using organic cotton. Does anyone know web sites that sell organic knits? I found a place called NearSea Naturals
http://www.nearseanaturals.com/index.php
that looks pretty great, but I''d like to shop around a bit.
And, in the past I''ve always just thrifted fabric for my creations and I''m finding I''m not entirely hip to the lingo in the world of knits.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between:
1x1 rib knit
interlock
jersey
and which would be best for t shirts and t shirt dresses? I''m looking for something soft and light and maybe a little stretchy/clingy but it''s hard to tell this stuff when you''re looking at something online.

thanks! I also discovered the rowena site...she seems to be at the perfect level for me. I can't wait to make her overlap nursing top out of yellow rib knit! it will be so cute, I might wear it even after the breastfeeding era!
