Tricot
Tricot is a lightweight, warp-knit fabric known for its smooth texture and excellent stretch, commonly used in activewear and lingerie.
About Tricot
Tricot fabric is constructed using warp knitting techniques, which allow for a high degree of elasticity and a smooth finish. Typically made from nylon or polyester fibers, tricot is characterized by its fine gauge and soft hand feel. The fabric is often used in applications where comfort and fit are paramount, such as in activewear, lingerie, and swimwear. Its ability to stretch in both directions makes it ideal for form-fitting garments.
