Dear Kate,
You'd think they'd come up with some different names for the knit
versions. I'll bet if you put "pique," "honeycomb pique," and "waffle
pique" in a search engine, you're going to come up with woven fabrics.

AND knits! BTDT. I was LOOKING for the wicking tec fabrics and got
them AND the lovely old woven stuff.
Old fashioned woven cotton pique is brilliant for some uses, but I
wanted a wicking, quick-drying tough stretchy modern type thing to make
a rash vest for James. In the end I couldn't get what I needed in time,
and he didn't really want one... Now, having suffered at Soustans back
in the summer with twigs and other stuff working down inside an ordinary
T shirt, he has seen the light! I'll do one for next time he goes off
wind-surfing, kayacking, and white water rafting. No point right now,
as he'll have grown out of it by the next opportunity to do it.

I'm late coming into this thread, but oh, thank you! I'm not interested
in the type of fabric you want, but I have been searching without
success for regular thermal knit in a synthetic blend, and there it is!
(100% cotton thermal knit is readily available, but it isn't as warm and
doesn't wear as well, so I really want the blended material and couldn't
find it.)

Kathy, in AK were it sometimes hits -70 (C or F, take your pick. Well,
no, that's an exaggeration; I've never seen it colder than -65C)

Looks like what I know as "airknit", which is typically done in a wicking
poly.
