What Is Jacquard Knit Fabric?

Jacquard knit fabric carries a pattern that is knitted into the structure rather than printed on top. The knitting machine selects individual needles to place different yarns or stitches, creating motifs in colour, in texture, or in both. Single jacquards are lighter and show yarn floats on the reverse; double jacquards are knitted on two needle sets, so they are fuller and neater inside. In our library, jacquard is one of the largest collections, and half of it weighs 200–299 GSM. Polyester/spandex jacquard leads for dresses, and cotton/polyester for streetwear and trousers. Because the pattern is part of the fabric, it does not crack or peel like a print. Plan for the pattern repeat when cutting and matching panels, and avoid single jacquards with long floats on garments that rub against rough surfaces.

Jacquard Knit Fabric FAQs

Is a jacquard pattern knitted in or printed on?

Knitted in. A jacquard pattern is formed by the knitting machine selecting needles and yarns, so the motif is part of the fabric structure and does not crack or wash off like a surface print.

What is the difference between single and double jacquard?

Single jacquard is knitted on one needle set and shows yarn floats on the reverse; it is usually lighter. Double jacquard uses two needle sets, so the reverse is neat and the fabric is fuller, which suits jackets, trousers and structured dresses.

Which jacquard weight should I choose for dresses?

Most jacquard dress qualities in our library weigh 200–260 GSM, mainly in polyester/spandex or 100% polyester. Go lighter for summer tops and heavier, around 260–340 GSM, for knit jackets and trousers.

What should I test on a jacquard knit?

Where a jacquard combines a dark and a light yarn, staining from the darker colour onto the lighter one is the usual risk, so check the staining grades in washing and water fastness, not only colour change. Polyester/spandex dress jacquards at 180–260 GSM also need shrinkage with the drying method stated, and long floats are checked for snagging on a sample garment.

What is the minimum order quantity for jacquard knit fabric?

Stock fabric orders start at 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour. Custom-colour orders start at 200 kg per colour.
