Pique knit fabric is a double knit textured fabric that originated in Lancashire, England. The right side has twice as many threads as the wrong side, which gives the fabric depth. Pique knit fabric is a textured fabric where the right side has a pattern like a waffle or a honeycomb shape and the wrong side is smooth. The name pique comes from the French word for the quilt: piquer. The textile manufacturers called the fabric pique because the texture was an imitation of the hand-stitched patterns on quilts from Marseille. The double knit texture of the fabric combines both warp knitting and weft knitting, which makes two distinct sides of the fabric (the right and the wrong side). The warp side is the right side and the weft side is the wrong side. The raised edges on the right side are called cords or ribs. No matter what pattern the cords make, the presence of raised cords on one side of the fabric but not the other is a goods indication that it is a pique fabric.
