Slub knit is a type of knit fabric with irregular stitches and uneven texture created by thicker and more raised areas in the yarn, called slubs. These thicker areas can be seen as thicker, raised threads on the fabric surface. Slub knit fabric is created with slight knots and knobbles, which can be seen as thicker, raised threads on the fabric surface. These ‘imperfections’ are either a characteristic of the yarn (mostly natural fibers), or created purposely with the intention of giving the fabric an organic, tactile look and feel. Slub knit fabric is often used to make t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, hoodies, shirt dresses, loungewear, and pajamas. Slub knit is most often used in men’s garments, and it has a heavyweight that adds durability and texture to the garment. Slub knit fabric is slightly thicker than regular knit and can be used as a substitute for sweatshirt fleece.
