Double Knit Pique Supplier

Shaoxing Keqiao Maozan Textile Co., Ltd. produces, processes and supplies knitted fabrics from Keqiao, Shaoxing, China, the mill cluster around China Textile City. Double-knit pique is the structured member of our pique family: a double-sided knit built on a pique face that carries more body and dimensional stability than a single-face pique while keeping the dry, breathable hand pique is chosen for. We supply it for polo programs, uniform and team wear, business-casual tops and branded apparel where collar, placket and body have to hold a clean, flat shape through wear and laundering.

Our Double-Knit Pique Supplier operation covers development, knitting, dyeing and finishing coordination, inspection and export packing, with ODM/OEM customization and small-batch sampling for programs that need a defined hand and face before bulk.

Structure and Performance of Double-Knit Pique

As a Double Knit Pique Supplier, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.

Two needle beds interlock loops on both faces, so the fabric resists curling and distortion at cut edges and retains its surface texture after garment washing. The pique face keeps the characteristic cellular grain; the reverse side is smooth and stable, which helps the fabric feed evenly through cutting and sewing lines.

• Silhouette retention: the interlocked structure limits stretch-out at the elbow, collar and placket on polo programs.
• Breathability: the textured face creates air channels, so body heat does not build up under heavier construction.
• Crisp hand: higher fabric mass gives the flat, polished look used in corporate and team apparel.
• Cutting behaviour: low curling reduces lay-up handling and improves ply alignment on automatic cutters.

Our Knitted Fabric Range and Where Each Product Fits

Double-knit pique sits inside a wider knit program, so a single purchase order can draw on complementary qualities for collars, trims, linings and body panels.

Specifications We Fix Before Knitting Starts

Every double-knit pique order is locked against a written specification sheet, and the same sheet travels with the lot through knitting, finishing and final inspection.

Application Fit Across Garment Programs

Double-knit pique is specified where a polo has to look pressed without a stiff interlining. For corporate and team orders we match the body fabric to a ribbed collar and cuff quality so the neckline keeps its shape and the placket sits flat after repeated laundering.

• Branded polos: embroidery and screen print sit cleanly on the stable pique face without shadowing.
• Uniform and team wear: colour continuity across repeat orders and size sets matters more than a single bulk lot.
• Business-casual tops: heavier double-knit bodies read as structured knitwear rather than T-shirt weight.
• Home textiles and accessories: our wider knit range covers throws, cushion panels and trims where a textured double face is useful.

Quality Control and Acceptance

Full-process quality management runs from yarn intake to final roll inspection, with a check after each production step and a finished-goods inspection against your requirements and the agreed international standard. In-house laboratory equipment supports the physical testing carried out on our lots.

• Yarn and greige verification before knitting
• Weight, width and course/wale checks on the knitting floor
• Colour and shade continuity checks after dyeing and finishing
• Shrinkage, pilling and stretch recovery records on retained samples
• Four-point or agreed defect grading, roll length and packing check before shipment

ODM/OEM Development, Sampling and Colour

We offer flexible ODM/OEM customization, and OEKO-TEX certified fabric options are available for programs with restricted-substance requirements. Development usually starts from a swatch, a garment tech pack or a performance brief; we then propose a construction and supply a sample for hand-feel, shade and shrinkage confirmation before bulk commitment. Small-batch sampling and quick re-orders are part of our normal cooperation model.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

Send what is available at enquiry stage — we will confirm the rest with you rather than guess.

• End product and panel: polo body, collar, placket, cuff, trim or accessory
• Target composition and any fibre restrictions or brand-preferred fibres
• Target fabric mass and finished width, with tolerance
• Colour references, lab dip requirement and colour-fastness expectation
• Stretch, recovery, shrinkage or pilling requirement after your garment wash
• Surface direction: solid, slub, structured pique face or brushed back
• Testing standard or buyer protocol to be applied at final inspection
• Roll length, tube or flat-fold packing, labelling and barcode needs
• Order quantity, size of development lot, repeat schedule and destination

Packing, Documentation and Replenishment

Finished double-knit pique is rolled or flat-folded to the agreed roll length, wrapped for moisture protection and packed in export cartons with lot and shade identification on each package. Shipments travel with the specification sheet, inspection record and shipping documents matching the order. Because we hold the construction and shade on file, repeat orders can be produced to the same reference without restarting development.

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines double-knit pique compared with single-knit pique?

Double-knit pique is knitted on two needle beds, giving two linked faces and a pique surface pattern. That construction adds mass, stability and shape retention, while single-knit pique is lighter, softer and more airy. Polos that need a crisp, structured look are normally run in double-knit pique.

Which garment programs does this fabric suit best?

Mid-to-high-end polos, business-casual polos, uniform shirts, team wear and casual tops. The collar, placket and body hold a flatter, cleaner line, which is why branded apparel and corporate custom orders use it.

Which fibre blends can you supply?

Cotton, CVC, polyester, viscose, modal, Tencel™, nylon and spandex-containing blends are all within our knit capability. The blend follows your hand, performance and price target, and we confirm it on the specification sheet before knitting.

How do sampling and colour matching work?

We develop from your swatch or tech pack and submit a sample for hand, shade and shrinkage approval. Lab dips are matched to your reference, and the approved dip becomes the standard for bulk and repeat orders.

What information do you need for a quotation?

Composition, target weight and width, colour reference, end use, finishing requirement, testing standard, packing format and order quantity. Where any of these are still open, we propose a construction and confirm it with you during sampling.

How is quality verified before shipment?

There is inspection after each production step and a final inspection of finished goods against customer requirements and international standards, supported by our laboratory testing equipment. Roll length, shade continuity, weight and width are checked and recorded with the lot.
