The waffle-stitch openwork fabric knitted with Tencel/Modal/bamboo fiber blended yarn and the combination of Bratton waffle stitch, openwork knitting stitch and plain stitch is absorbent, comfortable, soft, skin-friendly, antibacterial, breathable and has special appearance, which offers a new choice to garment producer.

Key words: Tencel; Modal; bamboo fiber; waffle stitch; openwork knitting stitch
