What Is Ottoman Knit Fabric?
Ottoman knit fabric has bold, rounded ribs that stand out from the surface, usually running across the fabric. The ribs form where extra courses are knitted on one needle bed, so the fabric rolls into ridges and gains thickness and body. The result is firmer and more structured than an ordinary rib, with less stretch across the width. Our 41 Ottoman qualities mostly weigh 250–320 GSM. Polyester/spandex is the largest single blend, and about four in ten contain viscose, usually with cotton or polyester, which softens the hand and improves drape. Horizontal ridges visually widen a garment and need matching at side seams, and the raised surface adds bulk at seams and hems.
02
Ottoman Knit Fabrics by Composition
Polyester/spandex leads our Ottoman range; viscose blends with cotton or polyester give a softer, drapier ridge.

|---|---|---|
| Polyester/spandex Ottoman | 270–340 GSM, such as TJ35007 (97% polyester / 3% spandex) at 280 GSM | Trousers, dresses and skirts |
| Cotton/viscose/spandex Ottoman | 230–350 GSM, such as TJ35002 (47% cotton / 47% viscose / 6% spandex) at 270 GSM | Trousers, fitted tops and knit jackets |
| Polyester/viscose/spandex Ottoman | 240–380 GSM, such as TJ2156 (67% polyester / 29% viscose / 4% spandex) at 270 GSM | Dresses, skirts and trousers |
| Polyester/cotton/spandex and cotton/polyester | 220–450 GSM, such as P9897 (66% polyester / 31% cotton / 3% spandex) at 250 GSM | Streetwear tops, sweatshirts and jackets |

Ottoman Knit vs Rib Knit and Waffle Knit
Ottoman, rib and waffle all add texture to plain colours, but each gives the garment a different line and stretch.
| Feature | Ottoman Knit | Rib Knit | Waffle Knit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texture | Bold raised ridges, usually across | Fine vertical ribs | Grid of recessed cells |
| How it is made | Extra courses on one needle bed | Alternating knit and purl columns | Knit and tuck stitches |
| Stretch across the width | Low to moderate | High | Moderate |
| Typical weights in our library | 250–320 GSM | 210–280 GSM | 200–315 GSM |
| Typical garments | Trousers, dresses and skirts | Fitted tops, dresses and trims | Tees, polos and lounge sets |

Ottoman Knit Fabric Recommendations
Xiwen Zhang, our co-founder and CEO, recommends these Ottoman weights and blends for the structured, textured pieces our customers develop most often, drawing on our knit fabric experience since 2009.
STRUCTURE FOR A WIDE LEG
Ottoman Knit Trousers
- Weight
- 255–325 GSM
- Composition
- Polyester/spandex or cotton/viscose/spandex
- Hand feel
- Firm, textured and stretchy
Read moreRead less — Ottoman Knit Trousers
Choose 255–325 GSM Ottoman for wide-leg and straight trousers. Trousers are the most common use for Ottoman in our library, and the ridged body helps a wide leg hang with structure. A cotton/viscose blend gives a softer, drapier leg.
STRUCTURE WITH TEXTURE
Ottoman Knit Dresses
- Weight
- 245–280 GSM
- Composition
- Polyester/viscose/spandex or polyester/spandex
- Hand feel
- Firm, with a clean drape
Read moreRead less — Ottoman Knit Dresses
245–280 GSM Ottoman works well for bodycon, shift and midi dresses. The ridges add texture to a solid colour, and a viscose blend lets a fitted dress follow the body without feeling stiff.
TEXTURE FOR A BASIC TOP
Fitted Ottoman Tops
- Weight
- 240–270 GSM
- Composition
- Cotton/viscose/spandex or polyester/spandex
- Hand feel
- Textured, soft and fitted
Read moreRead less — Fitted Ottoman Tops
For fitted long-sleeve tops and layering pieces, start with 240–270 GSM Ottoman. A cotton/viscose/spandex blend softens the hand against the skin, while the ridges make a plain top look less basic.
A SKIRT THAT HOLDS ITS LINE
Ottoman Knit Skirts
- Weight
- 250–295 GSM
- Composition
- Polyester/spandex or polyester/viscose/spandex
- Hand feel
- Firm and textured
Read moreRead less — Ottoman Knit Skirts
Choose 250–295 GSM Ottoman for pencil, A-line and midi skirts. The body keeps a pencil skirt smooth over the hips, and a matching top in the same quality makes an easy set.
HEAVIER RIDGES FOR SWEATWEAR
Ottoman Sweatshirts & Streetwear
- Weight
- 265–335 GSM
- Composition
- Polyester/spandex or polyester/cotton/spandex
- Hand feel
- Full and structured
Read moreRead less — Ottoman Sweatshirts & Streetwear
For crewnecks and relaxed streetwear tops, start with 265–335 GSM Ottoman. The deeper ridges give a sweatshirt a strong surface without print, and a cotton blend keeps the inside comfortable.
RIDGES THAT FRAME A JACKET
Ottoman Knit Jackets
- Weight
- 240–340 GSM
- Composition
- Cotton/viscose/spandex or polyester/cotton/spandex
- Hand feel
- Firm, soft and textured
Read moreRead less — Ottoman Knit Jackets
240–340 GSM Ottoman suits cropped knit jackets, shackets and bombers. The ridged body keeps fronts and collars in shape, and the texture makes a simple jacket shape look finished without trims.

Ottoman Knit Fabric FAQs
How is Ottoman knit different from rib knit?
Ottoman has bold, rounded ridges, usually running across the fabric, and is firmer with less stretch across the width. Rib has fine vertical ribs and stretches more. In our library, Ottoman mostly weighs 250–320 GSM and rib 210–280 GSM.
Are Ottoman knit fabrics always cotton?
No. Polyester/spandex is the largest single blend in our Ottoman range, and about four in ten qualities contain viscose, mixed with cotton or polyester. Cotton/polyester blends are used for heavier streetwear.
Which Ottoman weight should I choose for trousers and dresses?
Choose 255–325 GSM for trousers and 245–280 GSM for dresses. Go heavier for a wide leg that should hang with structure, and lighter for a fitted dress.
What should I test on Ottoman knit trousers and dresses?
The ribs run across the fabric, so check shrinkage and stretch in the width direction as well as the length; polyester/spandex and cotton/viscose/spandex Ottoman at 250–320 GSM behave differently here. Add pilling on the raised ribs and washing fastness for dark shades.
What is the minimum order quantity for Ottoman knit fabric?
Stock fabric orders start at 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour. Custom-colour orders start at 200 kg per colour.
