What is double knit?
Double knit is a two-layered fabric with a thin layer of wadding in between. This gives it a wonderfully warm yet lightweight feel. It’s soft to the touch and highly durable, helping it retain its shape and comfort in daily wear. Ommellinen’s double knits are knitted in Finland using recycled fibres consisting of 57% recycled polyester and 43% recycled cotton.
