Corduroy is a durable ridged fabric that textile manufacturers can make from a variety of different materials. What is most striking about this fabric is its unique ridge pattern, which corduroy fabric suppliers can weave in a variety of widths.

    Although it is usually made of cotton, corduroy can also be woven with a blend of polyester and cotton or even all polyester. Textile manufacturers also sometimes make corduroy from wool, but the ridges on wool corduroy are not as pronounced as those on corduroy made from other materials. Fabric manufacturers dye corduroy in a variety of different colors, and one of the corduroy dyes can cause uneven fading, which is very beautiful.

    Corduroy consists of three separate yarns woven together. Two main yarns form a plain or twill weave into which a third yarn penetrates in the weft direction, forming a float through at least four warp yarns.

    The textile manufacturer then uses a blade to cut the floating yarn, which causes the ridges of the raised fabric to appear on the surface of the fabric. The ridges of pile yarns on corduroy fabrics are called wales, and these wales vary widely in width. The "number of wales" of a piece of corduroy fabric is determined by the number of wales contained in an inch of fabric, and a standard corduroy fabric has 11-12 wales.

    The lower the number of wales, the thicker the wales on the corduroy fabric. At the same time, a higher number of wales means that the thinner wales are clustered more closely together.
