Cotton Piqué Fabrics

Cotton piqué fabrics are known for their many qualities, making them a staple in the world of sewing. This fabric, with its subtly raised texture and woven from natural fibres, is appealing for its refined appearance and exceptional softness.

Aesthetic, comfortable and practical at the same time, it is ideal for making clothing and accessories for both adults and children.

What are cotton piqué fabrics?

Cotton piqué fabrics are 100% natural, most often made from high-quality combed cotton. Their distinctive feature is their textured appearance, created by a special weave that produces a ribbed or waffle effect.

This fabric is certified by Oeko-Tex, guaranteeing the absence of substances harmful to the skin and the environment, making it particularly suitable for creations for children and babies.

The advantages of cotton piqué fabrics

Cotton piqué fabric is not limited to its attractive raised pattern. It offers many functional qualities:

• Comfort and softness: pleasant to the touch, it is soft and plush, perfect for household linens and everyday clothing.
• Absorbent: it has good absorbency, making it ideal for bibs, towels, bath wraps or quilts.
• Good structure: its structured weave gives it excellent shape retention, while remaining slightly stretchy, making it easy to sew.
• Easy to sew: even for beginners, this fabric is easy to work with, whether by hand or machine.
• Easy care: it is machine washable at 30°C and retains its shape and colours very well over time.
