Pointelle is a lightweight, cotton knit fabric with subtle openwork, usually in a geometric pattern, that has a delicate texture.

Commonly used in t-shirts, pajamas and children’s clothing, as well as cardigans, sweaters, and skirts.

Pointelle fabrics can tend to be delicate constructions, so they may require extra care to maintain properly.

Pointelle, as a knit fabric, does not have a tendency to wrinkle.

Cotton pointelle is easy to clean. It may require delicate care, depending on the garment. A gentle wash cycle and air drying to reshape the garment may be required, but check the garment care label to be sure.
