Waffle weave is a fabric with textured squares that make this cotton fabric look just like the popular breakfast food it’s named after. Although it can’t be eaten, it can keep you warm, which is why it’s a staple in winter clothing. Waffle effects can be found in knits and wovens. Waffle knits, similar in structure to a thermal knit, are used for winter base layers like long johns.

Waffle weave, also known as honeycomb, is commonly used for robes, bath and kitchen towels and blankets.

Waffle weave is easy to maintain and does not require special attention.

Waffle weave does not wrinkle. The cellular effect of the waffle structure keeps the fabric from holding onto wrinkles.

Waffle weave is easy to clean, which is one of the reasons it’s used for items like towels. The substantial structure holds up well to home laundry, and is easy care.
