Pairs with

Our 445 GSM heavyweight rib is the one we recommend for our Cotton Thermal Waffle Knit, in all four weights. Both are PFD, so body and rib go into the dye bath the same way and come out the same color. Use the 210 GSM midweight rib with jersey and other lighter knits.

PFD means prepared for dye: the fabric is bleached and ready to take dye for custom colors.
