READ MOREMaozan Textile is a CVC Waffle Fabric Supplier producing cotton-rich waffle knits from Keqiao, Shaoxing, alongside a broader range of knitted fabrics for apparel, home textiles and garment accessories. Our waffle family covers CVC, cotton and polyester qualities, so a development can move between a softer cotton hand and a more stable synthetic structure without changing the garment pattern. The surface texture is engineered into the knit, which is why it repeats across reorders instead of drifting from lot to lot.
Work at Maozan Textile stays inside knitted textiles: production, processing and raw-material supply sit in one coordinated operation rather than being spread across unrelated subcontractors. That focus supports seasonal programmes where structure, hand feel and colour have to hold steady across repeat orders. Our base in Keqiao, next to China Textile City, puts yarn selection, knitting, dyeing and finishing resources in the same industrial cluster.
CVC describes a cotton-rich blend in which polyester holds the minority share. Cotton carries the skin feel and breathability; polyester lifts wrinkle resistance, dimensional stability and wear life. Knitting that blend in a waffle structure creates the concave-convex grid that defines the fabric: raised cells across the face with recessed channels between them.
Cell geometry matters as much as the blend. A larger cell reads heavier and more textured, while a tighter cell gives a flatter, more refined surface for lighter tops. We treat cell size, yarn specification and stitch density as a single decision because the three interact with weight, drape and recovery. Garments built from the quality keep their silhouette through washing and everyday wear while staying comfortable against skin.
The waffle group sits inside our wider Waffle Fabric range. Each quality answers a different balance of comfort, stability and cost position, and the choice normally follows from the garment's end use rather than from the fabric alone.
| Waffle quality | Composition basis | Surface character | Typical application fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVC Waffle Fabric | Cotton-rich blend with polyester | Clear concave-convex grid, crisp and structured face | Base layers, casual long-sleeve tops, t-shirts, loungewear, children's wear, light casual sets |
| CVC Waffle Stretch | Cotton-rich blend with polyester and elastane | Waffle surface with recovery and movement | Fitted tops and casual sets that need shape recovery |
| Cotton Waffle Fabric | Cotton | Softer cotton hand, natural surface | Tops, loungewear, children's wear, home textiles |
| 100% Polyester Waffle Fabric | Polyester | Sharper structure, higher stability, faster drying | Casual and sport-influenced tops, home textile uses |
The same waffle pattern can be delivered softer or crisper, lighter or heavier, natural or with recovery. We configure those variables against the garment rather than selling a single fixed quality.
| Configuration variable | What we set with you | Effect on the finished garment |
|---|---|---|
| Fibre blend | Cotton-rich ratio with polyester share adjusted to the project | Hand feel, stability, drying behaviour and cost position |
| Yarn and stitch density | Yarn specification and knitting density matched to the cell scale | Surface definition, drape and recovery |
| Waffle cell size | Larger cells for texture, tighter cells for a refined face | Texture depth, weight perception, print and trim compatibility |
| Weight and usable width | Confirmed against the cutting plan and marker | Yield, cutting efficiency and garment weight band |
| Colour and finishing | Piece dye or yarn dye, softening, anti-pilling, compacting routes | Appearance, shrinkage behaviour and surface hand |
| Roll form and packing | Roll diameter, open-width or tube, inner packing and shipping marks | Warehouse handling and cutting-floor flow |
Quality management runs through the whole process rather than being applied at the end. Each stage is inspected, and finished goods pass a final check against the customer's requirements and the applicable standards for the order. Our laboratory and inspection equipment support the routine parameters we agree with you: weight, usable width, shrinkage behaviour, colour consistency and surface appearance.
Approval follows a fixed sequence so that bulk expectations are unambiguous for both sides.
A configuration that survives production starts from the garment, not from a stock list. These are the inputs we work with when preparing a proposal and a price.
Development normally begins with sample yardage and a lab dip, so hand feel, colour and cell scale can be judged on the actual fabric before bulk is committed. As a knitted fabric manufacturer working with OEM and ODM briefs, we handle customized production, small-batch sampling and quick reorders within the same supply chain, which keeps a continuing line consistent between seasons.
Bulk supply is delivered in roll form with the packing and marking agreed at order confirmation, and inspection records travel with the shipment. Where a project needs a specific test report or market document, we confirm which evidence is available at the quotation stage so it can be planned into production rather than requested afterwards.
Base layers, casual long-sleeve tops, t-shirts, loungewear, children's wear and light casual sets. The blend gives the comfort of a cotton surface with better shape retention, and the waffle grid adds texture that keeps light garments from looking thin.
It is a cotton-rich blend with a polyester minority share. The exact ratio is set per project, because the balance controls hand feel, stability and drying behaviour, and it also affects the price position of the finished garment.
Yes. CVC Waffle Stretch is part of our range. It keeps the same waffle surface while adding recovery, which suits fitted tops and casual sets. We confirm the stretch direction and recovery expectation against your garment pattern before knitting.
We submit a lab dip or development sample against your colour reference. Once approved, that sample is retained as the bulk reference and checked during finishing and at final inspection, together with weight, width and surface appearance.
We do. Development can follow your specification and artwork, or we can propose a composition, cell scale and finishing route from the end use. ODM support is useful where a buyer wants a defined waffle hand but has not fixed the construction.
End use, target composition, weight and usable width, cell scale, colour reference, stretch or non-stretch, finishing expectations, packing format, quantity and delivery window. With those details we can confirm the construction and prepare a quotation that matches the garment rather than a generic quality.
