Fabric Information - Waffle Knit

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach to preserve the fabric’s color and elasticity.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain the fabric’s texture and prevent shrinkage.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low to medium heat setting if necessary. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and avoid overstretching the knit.
  4. Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place to prevent wrinkles and maintain the fabric’s stretch and structure.

Use Instructions:

  • Cozy and Stretchy Projects: Ideal for making comfortable garments such as loungewear, sweaters, baby clothes, and cozy accessories due to its soft, stretchy, and textured nature.
  • Cutting: Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges. The fabric’s texture can make cutting slightly challenging, so ensure tools are sharp.
  • Sewing: Use a ballpoint or stretch needle (size 75/11 or 80/12) and a stretch or zigzag stitch to accommodate the fabric’s elasticity. A walking foot can help prevent stretching and puckering.
  • Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any sizing and account for potential shrinkage before cutting and sewing.

By adhering to these care and use instructions, your waffle knit fabric projects will maintain their cozy texture, durability, and stretch, making them perfect for creating soft and comfortable clothing and accessories.
