Heathered Fabric

A textile made by blending yarns of two or more colors — typically a primary color with gray or white — to create a muted, textured appearance with subtle color variation. Common heathered options in blank apparel include Athletic Heather (light gray blend) and Dark Heather (charcoal gray blend). Heathered fabrics are usually cotton-polyester blends. DTF press settings for heathered fabrics follow cotton-poly blend guidelines: 290–310°F for 10–15 seconds.
