About Draper Knitting Company
The company marked its 170th anniversary with a mill tour and reception in 2026, though a specific founding year and founder names are not publicly disclosed. Ownership details are not specified in available sources. The company specializes in knitted high-pile, jersey, double-knit, napped-fleece, single-sided-terry, and nonwoven fabrics. In addition to knitting, it runs an in-house lab that performs ASTM and AATCC tests such as wash testing, colorfastness, crock, abrasion, vertical burn, water repellency, tear strength, ball burst, thermal shrinkage, and paint-roller pick-up and release. Project management services cover fabric production, lamination, cut-and-sew, and packaging through a network of partner laminators and sewing houses. Padding, treatments, and coatings include anti-microbial, DWR, anti-pilling, and flame-retardant finishes, plus heat-setting and heavy-coating capabilities. Draper serves fashion, performance, industrial, and safety markets. Customers in these sectors request fabrics that meet specific test standards, and the company works with them from development through production. The company highlights its ability to pre-test fabrics in its own lab to increase confidence before certified lab submission, its coordinated network for lamination and cut-and-sew to streamline projects, and its capacity to apply heavy coatings and heat-set materials to exacting end-use specifications.
