French terry is a knit with a smooth face, like jersey, and a back with small, unbrushed loops formed by an additional yarn. It is knitted on a single needle bed with a ground yarn and a loop yarn. The looped back is soft, breathable and absorbs moisture.
It is the classic fabric for lightweight hoodies, joggers and mid-season clothing. Because it is not brushed, it is lighter and less warm than fleece. You can recognise it easily by the visible loops on the back.
