Piqué
| What is piqué fabric?
Pique is a durable cotton knit fabric covered with a tiny, textured pattern. The cross-tuck knit construction creates a cellular effect with a unique, subtle texture.
The term pique is also used for a woven fabric that is covered with a tiny, textured pattern which makes it appear quilted. It’s a heritage fabric that is rare to find today, but is still used in specialty products like cloth diapers.
