|  | | |  | | Pique Weave
Pique is a fabric that has a raised effect which is similar to that in quilts. The pique weave produces a fabric with ridges, called wales or cords, that are held up by floats on the back. The wales vary in width. Wide-wale pique (0.25 inch) is woven with 20 or more warp yarns in the face of the wale with two warp yarns forming a valley in between. Pinwale pique (0.05 inch) is a six-warp wale with two consecutive filling yarns floating across the back of the odd-numbered wales and then woven in the face of the even0numbered wales. The next two consecutive yarns alternate with the first two by floating across the back of the even-numbered wales. |  |
