Garments/Fabric Made

Today, Draper Knitting specializes in circular knit fabrics which include high pile sliver knit, conventional circular knit and Stitchbonded non-woven fabrics. Each fabric is custom made to exact customer specifications. A wide range of fibers and yarns are used to make fabrics for customers; these combinations use any of the following- cotton, wool, Kelver®, Nomex®, PCR (Post Consumer Recycled), Holofiber®/Celliant™, nylon, acrylic, fiberglass, polyester, FR rayon, etc. A wide range of fabrics can be created using organic and recycled fibers and/or yarn to provide a more eco-friendly end fabric. Finishing capabilities include starching, coating, shearing, napping, tumbling, slitting and commission finishing. On site is a state-of-the-art CAD studio for creating patterns, a dolly washer for scouring wools and stock dye/ piece dye capabilities for exact color matching. The Research and Development teams constantly strive to bring new and innovative fabrics to the marketplace while keeping current with trends. In-house testing is available as per ASTM, AATCC, military and federal test methods.

In more recent years, the company has ventured into new markets; including Draper Therapies™, a line of fabrics and finished products that use a fiber that has been proven to increase circulation. Regardless of branching out into new markets, Draper Knitting has always kept a focus on our traditional markets like Paint Roller Fabrics and Outerwear Fabrics, which have been a mainstay for them since the beginning.
