English term or phrase: rib and shell
Dear Colleagues, can you shed some light on these two terms? I've never heard of them in that context.

They appear in a t-shirt fabric compositon description: Rib: 100% Cotton, Shell: 100% Cotton.

Thank you in advance.

Selected answer:rib and shell
Explanation:
The shell is the 'body' of the shirt and the rib is the stretchy edging around the neck and sometimes also the sleeves and the lower bottom.

See the link and hover the pointer over the T-shirt, then you can see it clearly.

Asker: Hola Juan, la cuestión es que es una playera de algodón cualquiera y no tiene ningún tipo de protector. Por eso mi pregunta a lxs colegas angloparlantes para entender esos dos términos. De cualquier manera gracias por tu aportación!

  -> This is not about a person knitting with yarn, it's about a fabric that is machine-knitted but the process of making it may be roughly the same..
