- 6. HISTORY Pique, otherwise knownas Marcella, has its origins in the 18th century. Developed up north, by the Lancashire cotton industry. The fabric was developed using a mechanised technique or weaving double cloth with an enclosed cording weft. By the mid 20th century pique became a key material in men’s fashion.
- 7. HOW IT ISMADE
- 8. HOW IT ISMADE? Pique knit fabric is double knit, meaning there are two layers to the fabric, knit at the same time. Twice as many threads on the top layer as the bottom layer. The technique combines the two primary forms of knitting: warp knitting and weft knitting. Weft knitting loops one thread around itself to create fabric. Warp knitting uses a separate thread for each stitch, more similar to weaving than hand-knitting.
