Everybody loves a good waffle. Whether you’re a sweet or savoury kind of person, this versatile, kinda-crunchy version of a pancake just hits the spot. But why should we limit the waffle love to just eating them? After you’ve perused these amazing all-day waffle recipes, take a look at how you can bring that waffly good feeling into the home.

 
 

What is waffle weave?

The unmistakable almost three-dimensional grid-like look of waffle weave comes from using a particular weaving technique. Warp and weft floats of varying lengths are arranged around a plain-weave centre, which then contract once the fabric is taken off the loom and washed, creating distinct ridges and recesses. 

 
 

What are the benefits of waffle weave?

The overlapping nature of waffle weave means there’s a lot more surface area per centimetre than your average fabric, meaning it’s highly absorbent. For this reason, it’s often used to make tea towels, bathrobes, bath towels and bath mats. The honeycomb structure of waffle weave also creates little air pockets which is a handy little quality for trapping in warmth, making it ideal for quilt covers, pillowcases, throw rugs and blankets, bedspreads and cushions to keep you cosy. It also adds a beautiful textural element that makes your bedroom or living room styling all the more engaging.
