Surface, Structure, and Style in Every Yard

Waffle and Cable Knits Built to Impress

Waffle and cable fabric constructions are among the most sought-after textured options for sweaters, pullovers, and structured outerwear. Their raised, geometric surfaces create visual depth that flat fabrics simply cannot replicate, making every finished garment look considered and premium.

These heavier constructions — typically falling in the 200–350gsm range — also deliver excellent heat-retaining properties, making them practical as well as eye-catching.

Jacquard and Brocade for Elevated Apparel

Woven-in patterns like jacquard and brocade damask fabric offer a sophisticated form of texture that works beautifully for tailored blazers, skirts, and formal occasion wear. The raised motifs are integral to the weave itself, so they hold their definition wash after wash without fading or flattening.

For designers looking to add a decorative dimension without relying on prints, these structured weaves pair naturally with embroidered fabric accents for truly bespoke results.

Ottoman and Bouclé for Home and Fashion

Ottoman fabric — with its distinctive horizontal ribs — brings a clean, architectural texture to cushions, upholstery, curtains, and structured handbags.

Bouclé fabric takes a softer approach, its looped yarns creating a cozy, tactile surface that is enormously popular for jackets and cushion fabric projects alike.

Both fabric types photograph exceptionally well, making them a reliable choice for brands selling through visual-first retail channels.

Wholesale Textured Fabric That Commands Attention on the Bolt

Textured fabric transforms ordinary yardage into a design statement before a single stitch is sewn. The surface itself — whether the geometric grid of a waffle weave, the raised ribs of an ottoman, or the looped warmth of a bouclé — does the visual heavy lifting, so your finished pieces stand out in a crowded market. Our wholesale selection spans 150gsm to 350gsm, covering everything from lightweight structured weaves ideal for curtain fabric projects to dense, insulating knits built for winter outerwear. Because we supply by the yard at competitive wholesale pricing, you can order exactly the volume your production run demands without committing to full-bolt minimums you don't need. Whether you're a fashion label, a home textiles brand, or an independent designer scaling up, our textured fabric range gives you the surface variety to keep your collections fresh season after season.

From Sweaters to Soft Furnishings — Endless Textured Applications

The versatility of textured fabric is one of its greatest commercial strengths. A single category spans applications as diverse as tailored cape fabric, structured blazers, upholstered furniture, and decorative blanket fabric — meaning buyers across apparel, costume, and interiors can all find exactly what they need in one place. Heavier constructions like cable knit and boiled wool-style weaves are natural choices for cold-weather garments, while mid-weight jacquard and ottoman fabrics cross over effortlessly between fashion and home décor without compromising on aesthetics or durability.

Pairing textured fabrics with complementary materials is a great way to add contrast and dimension to any collection. A richly textured jacquard bodice, for example, pairs beautifully with the smooth drape of viscose fabric, while a waffle-knit panel works well alongside the clean stretch of spandex fabric for activewear-inspired designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What GSM range is typical for textured fabric?
Textured fabrics available on this site generally range from 150gsm up to 350gsm, depending on the construction. Lighter options like ottoman weaves tend to sit in the 150–220gsm range and work well for skirts and structured blouses, while heavier cable and waffle knits at 250–350gsm are better suited to outerwear, sweaters, and upholstery. Always check the individual product listing for the exact weight before ordering wholesale quantities.
What is the difference between woven and knit textured fabric?
Woven textured fabrics — such as jacquard, brocade, and ottoman — are created on a loom and generally have little to no stretch, making them ideal for structured garments and home décor. Knit textured fabrics — like waffle knit and cable knit — are formed by interlocking loops of yarn, which gives them inherent stretch and a softer drape suited to casualwear and knitwear. Choosing between the two depends largely on the intended application and how much structure or flexibility your design requires.
Can textured fabric be used for home décor as well as clothing?
Absolutely — many of our textured fabrics are dual-purpose and perform beautifully in both apparel and interiors. Ottoman and jacquard weaves are particularly popular for curtains, cushion covers, and bed runners, while bouclé is a favourite for accent chairs and throw pillows. When selecting fabric for upholstery or high-traffic home applications, we recommend choosing constructions with a tighter weave and a higher GSM for durability.
How do I care for textured fabric to preserve its surface?
Care requirements vary by fibre content and construction, so always follow the specific care label on your fabric. As a general rule, textured fabrics with raised surfaces — such as waffle knit or bouclé — benefit from gentle machine washing in cold water or hand washing to prevent snagging and distortion. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can flatten delicate textures; instead, lay flat or hang to dry. Ironing directly on the textured side is not recommended — use a pressing cloth or steam from a distance.
Is textured fabric suitable for beginners to sew with?
Some textured fabrics are perfectly beginner-friendly — ottoman and structured jacquard weaves, for example, are relatively easy to cut and sew because they don't slip or stretch excessively. Knit-based textures like waffle and cable knit require a ballpoint or stretch needle and ideally a serger or overlock stitch to handle the stretch without breaking threads. If you're new to sewing textured materials, starting with a firm woven texture rather than a stretch knit will give you more control and cleaner results.
