Cardigan knit (commonly known as half-cardigan or pearl knit) is a coarse-gauge knitted fabric characterized by a distinctive textured, pearl-like loop surface. Produced on double-bed rib or interlock knitting machines, it features a unique reversible structure with distinctly different faces on either side. Depending on the yarn count and machine gauge, it can be manufactured in both lightweight and heavy-gauge variations.

• Durable: Resilient against wear, abrasion, and washing deformation.

• Soft Hand Feel: Offers high comfort with a gentle, lofty texture.
