Brushed Knit Fabric Supplier: Soft, Warm and Reliable Textiles for Quality Garments
Softness Designed for Seasonal Comfort
When garment brands create winter collections or indoor comfort wear, the fabric’s surface touch becomes one of the most important factors in consumer satisfaction.
Brushed knit fabric stands out thanks to its raised fibers, which create a cushioned, velvety feel while improving insulation.
At Succeed Textile, we supply brushed knits that combine comfort, durability and production-friendly stability—ideal for manufacturers scaling seasonal or year-round warm apparel lines.
How Brushed Knit Fabric Is Engineered
The fabric begins as a regular knit construction. It then undergoes mechanical brushing, where fine metal brushes lift short fibers from the surface to produce a soft, warm layer.
Technical Characteristics
-
Enhanced Warmth: Raised fibers trap body heat while retaining breathability.
-
Soft Hand Feel: Smooth, skin-friendly finish suitable for direct contact.
-
Low Shrinkage: Controlled to < 3 % through heat-setting.
-
Pilling Resistance: Graded 4–5 (ISO 12945) for long-term wear.
-
Color Stability: ΔE < 1 across large production batches.
Testing under OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 confirms the material’s safety for both adult and children’s apparel.
