About Warp-knitted Pique fabric
It is made with a warp knitting technique. Hundreds of parallel yarns are mounted on a beam, all running along the length of the fabric(warp). These yarns are then looped together simultaneously by the knitting machine,. It features a very defined, geometric diamond or hexagonal mesh pattern.
It is known for being very stable and doesn’t stretch out of shape. It’s extremely breathable, durable, and the edges won’t curl when cut. This makes it the perfect choice for high-performance athletic wear where structure and maximum airflow are needed.
About Weft-knitted Pique fabric
It is made with a weft knitting technique. A single yarn (or a few yarns) moves back and forth across the width of the fabric(weft), looping together row by row.
It features a “Pearl” or “Beehive” bumps texture on the fabric surface. it’s flexible, breathable, soft and stretchy making it very comfortable to wear and move in.
You’ll find it mostly in casual clothes like t-shirts and polo shirts where comfort is the top priority.
The Distinctive Qualities of Pique Fabric
Pique fabric distinguishes itself through a specialized knitting technique that creates its signature textured surface. By alternating between tight knit stitches and loose tuck stitches, this method forms the characteristic raised geometric patterns. Some double-knit variations have one side as pique and the other as jersey. This results in a reversible fabric, giving you flexibility in your design.
Pique fabric can be made from various fibers – cotton for breathability and softness, polyester for durability and wrinkle resistance, nylon for exceptional strength and a smooth finish, or blends that combine these advantages. The fiber composition directly determines the fabric’s performance in terms of comfort, maintenance requirements, and overall longevity in finished garments.
