Nude-Feel Brushed Nylon Spandex
Buttery-soft brushed nylon spandex — the fabric behind the most-copied legging silhouette in the market.
Home / Fabrics / Yoga fabrics / Ponte Roma Double Knit
Not every yoga garment should cling. Ponte Roma is a stable double knit with body — it holds a flare, keeps a waistband crisp, and looks like trousers while moving like activewear. It is the fabric behind the studio-to-street category.

Buyer questions
For low-impact practice, walking and studio-to-street wear, yes. It has cross-grain stretch but limited lengthwise stretch, so it is not the right choice for deep sequencing or high-compression training — that is why ranges pair ponte bottoms with a compression or nude-feel legging.
Jersey is a single knit and drapes softly with high stretch. Ponte is a double knit: two sets of needles, heavier, more stable, and much less prone to clinging. It behaves closer to a woven in construction while staying comfortable.
Double knits are more pill-resistant than brushed single knits, but friction points still matter. We specify the pilling test on the approved sample rather than assuming.
