Interlock Fleece is a versatile textile construction designed to provide a balance of softness, comfort, warmth and fabric stability. Its interlock-based construction gives the fabric a smooth and comfortable structure, while suitable finishing processes can enhance its surface softness and overall appearance.
It is commonly considered for apparel and textile applications where comfort, flexibility and a consistent surface are important. Depending on the fibre composition, finishing and manufacturing process, Interlock Fleece can be developed in different weights, textures and performance characteristics.
What Is Interlock Fleece?
Interlock Fleece is a knitted fabric construction created with an interlock structure. The construction provides a relatively stable fabric body and comfortable surface, while fleece finishing can provide additional softness and warmth.
The final characteristics depend on the yarn, fibre composition, knitting parameters, brushing and finishing processes used during production.
Main Types of Interlock Fleece
Cotton Fleece
Cotton Fleece is developed using cotton or cotton-rich compositions to provide a naturally comfortable and soft fabric experience. It is suitable for applications where breathability, comfort and a soft handfeel are important.
Applications: Sweatshirts, hoodies, casualwear, kidswear, loungewear and winter apparel.
Faux Cotton Fleece
Faux Cotton Fleece is designed to provide a cotton-like appearance or handfeel using suitable synthetic or blended fibre constructions. It can offer a practical alternative where consistency, durability or specific performance characteristics are required.
Applications: Apparel, sweatshirts, hoodies, winterwear, uniforms and lifestyle products.
Full Dull
Full Dull fabrics are produced using yarns designed to provide a more subdued, non-shiny surface appearance. The reduced lustre gives the fabric a clean and understated visual character, making it suitable for contemporary apparel and textile products.
Applications: Sportswear, casualwear, winterwear, jackets, uniforms and fashion garments.
