Waffle fabric

Waffle fabric, also known as honeycomb fabric, has a surface texture that looks like a waffle with raised threads that form small rectangles, hence the name. Waffle weave is a further exploitation of plain weave and twill weave which produces a three-dimensional effect. The combination of warp and weft floats creates the structure.

It is woven partly on tabby (plain) areas surrounded by ridges of long floats.
The weave consists of warp and weft floats arranged around a plain weave center.
The warp and weft threads are interlaced and floating in a way that creates small square ridges and hollows in the fabric in a regular pattern.
