Chunky Cotton Waffle Stretch

Chunky Cotton Waffle Stretch is made from 18s cotton and 40D spandex. The heavier cotton yarn count gives the waffle texture a more substantial, three-dimensional look. The thicker cotton yarns form deeper grid grooves than finer yarns, creating a more pronounced surface relief, while the 40D spandex ensures this heavier knit still feels stretchy and comfortable rather than stiff.

The combed cotton content keeps the fabric soft and breathable against the skin even at a heavier weight. The raised waffle texture helps trap a thin layer of air within the fabric, providing a degree of natural warmth, making it suitable for spring and autumn layering pieces.

This blend works very well for base layers, long-sleeve tees, loungewear, and children's tops. It suits products where visible texture and a heavier, more substantial hand than standard jersey are desired, while still retaining the stretch and comfort of a cotton-spandex knit.
