French Terry fabric is a medium-weight knit known for its soft face and looped back that provides breathable warmth and flexibility. Usually weighing 140–650gsm, it’s made from 100% cotton, cotton–polyester blends, or cotton with 5–10% spandex. The inner loops add light insulation without heaviness, giving this fabric its signature cozy yet breathable feel — perfect for all-season casual apparel.
French terry is a loopback knit with a smooth face and soft looped interior — heavier than single jersey but lighter than fleece, making it the perfect mid-layer for year-round casual and activewear. Unlike interlock or rib, that distinctive looped reverse traps warmth without bulk. Want the full breakdown? Read: What is French Terry? The Complete 2025 Guide.
Cotton French terry is the most popular — natural, breathable and machine-washable. Polyester versions are more durable and moisture-wicking, great for sportswear. Bamboo French terry is ultra-soft and anti-microbial. For seasonal project ideas by material, see: How to Choose the Best French Terry for Each Season.
