FAQ

Wholesale Ottoman Rib Fabric — Common Questions

What is ottoman rib (selanik) fabric?
Ottoman rib — called selanik in Turkish — is a dense double-knit fabric with pronounced raised horizontal ribs across its surface. Altunkaya Tekstil knits it from 100% combed cotton (32/2 yarn) at 290-300 gsm and 175-180 cm width. The textured surface gives garments a premium sweater-like look while keeping the comfort of a knit.
Why is ottoman rib fabric called selanik in Turkey?
The Turkish name selanik comes from the city of Thessaloniki (Selanik), historically a major Ottoman-era textile center. Internationally the same knit structure is known as ottoman rib or ottoman knit — a firm double jersey with prominent horizontal cords.
What is ottoman rib fabric used for?
Ottoman rib (selanik) is used for cardigans, knit tops and sweaters, structured dresses and skirts, polo-style tops, kidswear and loungewear sets. Its firm, dense body holds shape well, resists see-through and gives a knitwear look without the cost of fully-fashioned knitting.
Is your ottoman rib fabric 100% cotton?
Yes — our standard selanik quality is 100% combed cotton at 290-300 gsm. Cotton gives excellent breathability, soft handle and easy dyeing. Dyeing is done at an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I certified dyehouse, and GOTS-certified organic cotton production is available on request.
What is the difference between ottoman rib and piqué (lacoste) fabric?
Both are textured cotton knits, but they differ in structure and weight: ottoman rib (290-300 gsm) has raised horizontal cords and a firm, warm body suited to cardigans and dresses, while piqué/lacoste (190-200 gsm) has a fine honeycomb cell texture and lighter weight suited to polo shirts. Ottoman is the choice for structure; piqué for breathable summer tops.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale ottoman rib fabric?
Our MOQ is 50 kg per color for ottoman rib (selanik) fabric. 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.
