help Cloqué FAQ

What causes the bubbles in cloqué fabric?

Cloqué gets its blistered surface from differential yarn shrinkage or differences in weave tension. The fabric is commonly made as a double-woven or compound structure.

Is cloqué knitted or woven?

The catalog definition of cloqué refers to a double-woven or compound textile. Its raised texture is created through the relationship between woven layers, yarn shrinkage, and tension.

Why is cloqué used for structured fashion garments?

Its bubbled surface gives garments a sculptural look and helps them appear more dimensional than flat cloth. That distinctive texture is why cloqué is used in structured fashion rather than only for basic everyday fabric.

How is cloqué different from seersucker?

Both fabrics can look puckered, but cloqué is associated with a blistered or bubbled compound construction. Seersucker is more commonly recognized for its puckered woven stripes created by tension differences.
