Pique fabric, also known as pique, is a weft knitted fabric. It is also called “PK fabric” in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The surface of this fabric is porous, similar to a honeycomb structure, which has better breathability, dryness and washability. Pique fabric is usually used to make high-end clothing, such as polo shirts and sportswear.
Characteristics of Pique fabric
Due to its unique weave structure, Pique fabric has the following characteristics:
1.Good breathability: The porous structure on the surface allows for smoother air circulation, making it suitable for summer wear.
2.High dryness: It absorbs sweat and dries quickly, keeping the skin dry.
3.High washability: It can maintain good appearance and performance after multiple washes.
