Sport Piqué is a 100% polyester fabric with a diamond-like knit structure and clear definition of detail, vibrant color and strong wash durability. Comfortable and lightweight with a delicate drape, Sport Pique’s soft, stretchy composition is perfect for moisture-wicking athletic apparel such as tennis dresses, yoga tops and headbands, offering a soil-release finish for enhanced laundering. Wrinkle-resistant and easy to pack in a small bag, this is also the fabric of choice for conference presentations and scientific posters—no sewing required.

Polo shirts, active tops, athletic apparel, sporty dresses / skirts, headbands, science posters

Sport Piqué Fabric FAQs
Machine wash in cool water using a gentle machine cycle. Machine dry using a low temperature setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles.
Designs print with crisp detail and vibrant color. Smooth fabrics show fine details clearly, while textured fabrics create a more natural printed look.
Some Spoonflower fabrics may include a small amount of extra width for the selvedge (the finished edge of the fabric). This area helps prevent fraying during printing and shipping. The listed fabric width refers to the usable printed area, and any selvedge is included as additional width.
