Cable Knit Jacquard Fabric

Cable Knit Jacquard Fabric by the Metre

Cable knit jacquard fabric combines a chunky, sweater-like cable pattern with the stretch and stability of a jacquard knit. Our version is composed of 81% polyester, 16% viscose and 3% elastane, woven at 150 cm wide with a weight of 340 grams per square metre. That grammage sits in mid to heavyweight territory, so the fabric drapes with body rather than clinging, and the small elastane percentage gives it just enough give for a comfortable fit without turning it into a stretch jersey. You buy it by the metre here, which makes it workable for a single garment or for a full production run.

Fabric structure and feel

The cable pattern is knitted directly into the fabric rather than printed on top, so the raised ribs and twists you feel on the surface are structural. That gives the textile a dimensional, almost hand-knitted look while keeping the flat, consistent thickness you need for cutting and sewing patterns. The 340 grams/m² weight holds its shape in larger panels like coat fronts or blanket pieces, but the elastane content stops it from feeling stiff or board-like against the body.

What you can make with it

This fabric works well for outerwear and knitwear-style garments: think structured sweaters, A-line skirts, and dresses that need a bit of visual texture without added print or embellishment. For interior projects, the cable structure translates naturally into cushion covers, throws, and chair covers where a knitted, cosy look is the goal. The stretch and softness also make it suitable for babywear and kids' clothing, such as knit-look baby cardigans or warm children's blankets, where comfort against the skin matters as much as appearance.

If you're looking for something with a smoother finish instead of the raised cable texture, our Boiled Wool Fabric is a wool-felted alternative with similar warmth. For structured tailoring rather than knitwear, Gabardine Fabric or Cotton Twill Fabric give you a woven base with a different drape. Fans of textured knits might also want to look at our Boucle Fabric, which has a looped surface texture rather than a cable pattern.

Ordering by the metre and in bulk

We sell this cable knit jacquard by the metre, with wholesale pricing available from 6 metres upward for businesses, studios and larger home projects. Larger orders can be supplied on rolls of 50 metres, which is useful if you're planning a production run of sweaters, coats or interior pieces and want to avoid running out of the same dye lot halfway through. Both private customers and businesses order from the same stock, so there's no separate B2B-only range to navigate.

Try before you commit

Colour and texture can look different on screen than in hand, especially with a knitted fabric where the surface catches light differently depending on the pattern direction. You can order a fabric swatch for 0.50 euro before placing a larger order, which is a low-cost way to check the weight, stretch and exact shade against your project. It's a small step that saves returns and disappointment later, particularly if you're matching this fabric to an existing colour scheme.

Cable knit jacquard for your next project

Cable knit jacquard fabric gives you a knitted, textured look with the practical width and stretch needed for garments, accessories and home textiles. Between the 150 cm width, the 340 grams/m² weight and the polyester-viscose-elastane blend, it's a fabric that holds shape while staying wearable. Order a swatch first if you're unsure, then place your metreage from stock held here in Tilburg for the sweater, blanket or interior piece you have in mind.
