knit textures

While the possibilities with knitting are virtually endless — and we’re always up for a challenge — here are some of the most commonly used knit structures we offer. Think of these as a starting point; if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, there’s a good chance we can still make it happen.

 

 

Jersey

One of the most versatile fabrics out there. It’s a single-layer knit that moves with you, offering natural stretch and a fluid drape that feels effortless. What makes it truly special is how it balances comfort with simplicity—lightweight, breathable, and adaptable across countless styles. It’s the foundation for so many designs because it just works.

 

Rib

Double-knit fabric made by alternating knit and purl stitches in vertical columns, giving it a defined texture and excellent stretch and recovery. It’s commonly used where flexibility and shape retention are essential, and it naturally hugs the body without added elastane. Best suited for close-to-skin fits or trim details—it offers structure without stiffness.

 


Pointel

Pointelle knit is an intricate technique that creates delicate, open patterns by carefully manipulating stitches to form tiny, precise holes. It’s more complex and labor-intensive than most knits, requiring advanced control to achieve its airy texture without compromising structure. The result is a lightweight fabric with detailed, decorative depth—a perfect example of craftsmanship meeting design.

 

Cable

Created by twisting and crossing groups of stitches, forming raised, rope-like patterns that add depth and texture. This technique builds a thicker, denser fabric with a distinctive three-dimensional surface. Its structure gives the knit both visual interest and a substantial feel.

Tubular

Tubular knit is created as a seamless, circular fabric, forming a continuous tube without side seams. This construction gives it a smooth finish and natural stretch all around, making it ideal for two-color knitting and designs that use color blocking. Keep in mind, because it’s essentially double-layered, the fabric naturally weighs more—adding durability without sacrificing comfort.

Jacquard Birdeye

We’ve mastered a stitch technique that weaves sharp, intricate designs right into the fabric — no printing, no shortcuts. This allows virtually any logo, graphic, or detailed pattern to come to life with precision and depth you can see and feel. And because more colors mean more yarn, more complex designs naturally add weight. This isn’t just knitting — it’s craftsmanship taken to a whole new level.
