Our Marco bedspread from Sferra has a small diamond pique pattern that is simply classic. What is pique, you ask? Sferra explains:
Piqué (pronounced “pee-kay”) fabric is characterized by raised designs – cords, waffles, or patterns. Technically, piqué fabric is known as a double-cloth, with the unique texture achieved by weaving two layers of fabric, one above the other, on the same loom. The piqué weave creates more body and crispness than a plain weave.
Here is a close-up image of the Marco bedspread, showing the diamond pattern:

One response to “What is Pique?”
Even for some blouses I do love the piqué weave, provided it is 100% pure quality cotton!
Have a great weekend.
