Recently I saw a post on a popular sewing board asking the difference between ponte knit and double knit. I am ever mindful of my role as business owner and do not post on sewing boards to avoid the pitfall of "advertising". But I thought the question was valid and deserving of a response. As you all know I do not put myself out there as an expert on fabrications. I am simply a business owner and sewist with a lot of years of experience and a good bit of research to back that up. So here is how we respond to that question.
Double knit is a generic term that refers to the structure of the knit fabric. Double knits are weft knits produced using two needles on two needle beds. The result is a jersey that is flat on both sides and can often be reversible. There are a wide variety of double knits on the market. Ponte di Roma is one type of double knit.
