What Is Three-Thread Fleece & French Terry?

Short answer: Three-thread fleece is a thick, durable sweatshirt knit made with three yarn systems (ground, binder and filler). Altunkaya Tekstil knits it from a 65% cotton / 35% polyester blend at 310-320 gsm. The brushed (şardonlu) variant has a warm napped inner face for winter; the diagonal variant is left flat for mid-season. French terry is the looped premium member at 420-440 gsm — the world standard for hoodies and joggers.

FAQ

Wholesale Sweatshirt Fabric — Common Questions

What is three-thread fleece fabric?
Three-thread fleece takes its name from the three separate yarn systems used in its knit (ground, binder and loop/filler yarn), producing a thick, durable sweatshirt fabric. Altunkaya Tekstil knits it from a 65% cotton / 35% polyester blend at 310-320 gsm. It is the standard fabric for tracksuits, sweatshirts and hoodies.
What is the difference between brushed and diagonal three-thread fleece?
Both share the same knit structure; the difference is the inside finish. In brushed (şardonlu) three-thread the inner face is brushed up into a soft, warm cotton-like nap for winter garments. In diagonal (unbrushed) three-thread the inner face is left flat — cooler and lighter, preferred for mid-season tracksuits.
Is French terry a three-thread fabric?
French terry is the looped, unbrushed premium member of the three-thread family. Its inner face is formed of small terry loops and, at 420-440 gsm, it has a firm, heavyweight drape. It is the worldwide standard fabric for premium sweatshirts and joggers.
What GSM should sweatshirt fabric be?
Standard three-thread fleece is 310-320 gsm, ideal for winter tracksuits and sweatshirts. Heavier variants (340+ gsm) are used for premium hoodies, while French terry at 420-440 gsm is the firmest, heaviest option in the sweat group.
What is the difference between two-thread and three-thread fleece?
Two-thread fleece is knitted with two yarn systems; it is thinner (240-280 gsm) and suited to summer/mid-season sweatwear. Three-thread adds an extra filler yarn, making it thicker, warmer and more durable — the standard for winter tracksuits and hoodies.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale sweatshirt fabric?
Our MOQ is 50 kg per color for brushed three-thread, diagonal three-thread and French terry. Stock colors ship in 2-5 business days; custom Pantone/RAL dyeing takes 10-15 business days. EU shipments arrive in 3-7 days with EUR.1 movement certificates.
