We love our waffle weave fabrics, both for blankets and bathrobes. They have a neat, graphic look, but that’s not all. Waffle weave is functional, too. The experts at Sferra explain:
Waffle weave fabric, also known as a honeycomb weave fabric, is woven to produce a textured surface fabric with a distinctive grid-like pattern of recessed square or diamond shapes, resembling a breakfast waffle or a honey bee comb. In the weaving process, the ridges outlining the squares or diamonds are raised on all sides by floating both the warp and the weft, and gradually decreasing the floats moving from the ridges toward the centers.
Waffle weave fabric has thermal properties, providing warmth and insulation by trapping body heat and forming a warm layer next to the skin, thereby increasing heat retention. In addition, waffle weave fabric is highly absorbent and available in a variety of weights. These features make this fabric perfect for blankets and robes.
Sferra’s best-selling Kingston Waffle Weave Blanket has all of these great features. It also comes in seven delicious colors.
The Edison bathrobe is waffle weave for the bath. It is lightweight, absorbent and soft.
