Three sample colour-ways of yarn dyed single pique knit fabric in pure cotton (probably mercerised cotton). Pique is the type of knit usually used for polo shirts and is especially breathable and comfortable to wear, with an interlocking structure that helps it keep its shape. This fabric is more or less opaque on the skin, with a slightly dry hand-feel on the right side, whilst the inside is very smooth and comfortable to wear. Has a fair amount of both drape and structure. Suitable for polo-style tees, regular tees and tops, sleepwear, and kids wear such as dresses. These were samples produced for a menswear brand.
