Knitting Heirloom Woven Patch for School Clothing

What is a Woven Patch?

Woven Patches are patches done by stitching a design with threads into a piece of fabric.

• The weave of a woven patch is a created with a much thinner thread, just like a woven label.
• The thinner threads enable a tighter weave so there can be more detail in the artwork.
• The threads also provide cleaner lines and a flatter appearance, closer to a printed look.
• The thickness of the patch is also more streamlined and thin.

• With a woven patch, due to the material and production process, a patch can be made in much smaller size without losing integrity, even down to 1″.

  Unlike an embroidered patch, woven patches can go on the inside or outside of clothing without a bulky feeling. Thinner threads make Woven patches thinner them embroidered patches, providing a level of flexibility that makes the patch more versatile.
