Waffle fabrics for sewing bathrobes, towels, and home textiles
Waffle fabric is a popular, traditional material for towels, bathrobes, and home textiles. It is recognized by its beautiful honeycomb surface structure, which makes the fabric airy, absorbent, and quick-drying.
With each wash, waffle fabrics soften even further and develop their characteristic textured look.
Waffle fabrics for makers
Our selection includes various waffle fabrics made from linen, cotton, and linen-cotton blends.
Please note that all natural fiber waffle fabrics react differently to washing. The structure of the fabric changes when washed, and it typically shrinks by approximately 5–10%. If you want to account for shrinkage, we recommend pre-washing the fabric before cutting.
Universal needles are suitable for sewing waffle fabrics.
