Waffle Knit Digital Print

Waffle Knit Digital Print Fabric by the Metre

Waffle knit digital print is a cotton knit fabric with a textured, gridded surface finished with a printed pattern. You buy this fabric by the metre in our online store, ready for cutting into scarves, blankets, cushions, skirts or cardigans. The waffle structure gives the fabric body and a bit of insulation, while the digital print adds colour and pattern without losing that recognisable honeycomb texture. It's a fabric that combines a tactile weave with a visual design, which makes it a bit different from a plain jersey or a solid-coloured waffle knit.

What Makes Waffle Knit Digital Print Different

Waffle knit gets its name from the raised, box-like texture on the surface, similar to the pattern you'd see on an actual waffle. This structure is created during knitting, not printed on, so it stays present even after the fabric is dyed or printed. Combined with a digital print, you get texture and pattern in one fabric. The print sits on top of the waffle structure, so colours can look slightly softer or more textured than on a flat jersey. This makes the fabric interesting for projects where you want both visual interest and a tactile finish.

Material and Feel

The waffle knit fabric in this category is made from 100% cotton. Cotton gives the fabric breathability and a natural feel against the skin, which matters for items like scarves or cardigans that sit close to the body. The knitted construction also gives it some stretch, though less than a classic jersey, since the waffle texture adds firmness. That firmness is actually useful: it holds shape well in blankets and cushion covers, and it doesn't collapse into a flat, limp fabric the way thinner knits sometimes do.

Suitable For

This fabric works well for a range of home and clothing projects, thanks to its texture and weight:

• Scarves, where the waffle texture adds visual depth without extra bulk
• Blankets and throws, where the structure gives some insulation
• Cushions and pillow covers, where the texture adds a decorative element
• Skirts and cardigans, where the fabric holds shape better than a plain knit
• Decorative home textiles, where the printed pattern stands out against the waffle grid

Because the print is digital, you'll often find more detailed or colourful patterns than what's possible with standard roller printing, which opens up more design options for both clothing and interior projects.
