This Pique Knit is built for brands whose Hoodies and Joggers programme needs warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface without a complicated supply chain. Knitted from 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex, it offers higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines, and the construction is engineered so that Moisture-Wicking.

Why this construction works
Performance comes from three decisions: the yarn, the stitch and the finishing route. 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex supplies the base behaviour, a textured pique knit sets how air and moisture move, and finishing is kept deliberately light so the attributes survive washing.

Performance features
- Moisture-Wicking: moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry, measured by AATCC 195 moisture management.
- Hand and comfort: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines.
- Construction benefit: a structured surface that hides perspiration and holds shape.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
Specified mainly for Hoodies and Joggers, and suited to any programme where warmth without bulk and a stable brushed surface is written into the brief. Designers use the same base for matching styles, which keeps colour continuity simple across a collection.

Dyeing, finishing and customisation
Dyeing runs on a controlled recipe with consolidated dye lots to hold shade continuity. Finishing options include wicking, antibacterial, soft touch and anti-pilling, applied after lab trials so the hand approved in sampling is the hand delivered in bulk.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Sampling is fast: A4 hand feel cards, laboratory dips and a 5 metre trial roll within a week. Bulk runs in 20-25 days, with inline inspection and a final random inspection before packing.

Frequently asked questions
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
