It's popping up on clothing descriptions everywhere, but what does "ponte knit" actually mean?
I think different manufacturers may use it differently. J Jill (see link below) defines it as a fabric that's a blend of rayon, polyester and spandex. In the knitting world, I believe it's a technique that produces a flat pattern that looks the same on both sides.
