Waffle Knitted Fabric

Name: Waffle
Brand: Tutku Fabric

Square honeycomb relief traps air; absorbent, lofty thermal knit. Changing the depth of the relief and the size of the repeat produces anything from a fine decorative surface to a thicker, clearly defined thermal texture.

Properties

The air pockets hold warmth while the surface spreads moisture and keeps a dry feel, which makes it a good layering fabric between seasons. It is used in thermal tops, robes, loungewear and babywear, as well as relaxed everyday pieces.

For waffle, Tutku Fabric builds several composition alternatives with its production partners. Pure cotton brings absorbency and a natural look forward, polyester content helps the relief stay crisp after washing, and modal and bamboo blends give a softer loungewear character. The alternatives are prepared in the same colour and compared by hand so the right one for the collection is chosen.

Working with Tutku Fabric

Sourcing and sampling process

Tutku Fabric does not knit; it is a sourcing and marketing partner working with mills experienced in this construction. When your enquiry arrives we settle the target weight, width, composition and end use, send suitable options from existing swatch cards and, where needed, plan a trial knit with the mill.

Weight, width and after-wash measurements are recorded on the sample; the approved sample becomes the written reference for bulk. Checkpoints on the greige knit, after dyeing and before dispatch are followed, and requested physical tests are run by an independent laboratory. Minimums and lead time are set with the mill according to colour count and dyehouse schedule, then confirmed to you in writing.
