Dual-Jet

Dual-jet is a way of weaving on a water-jet loom, not a colour and not a print. A single-jet loom fires one weft across the shed. Dual-jet fires two—either two ends of the same yarn, or two different yarns—in the same pick. That extra weft opens the cloth a little, so at the same yarn count it usually feels loftier and a touch thicker than single-jet greige.

If those two yarns differ in lustre, denier, or colour, the face takes on a two-tone or heathered look. The effect moves as you turn the swatch in the light, which is why buyers often handle the cloth before they ask about weight. Nothing is sitting on the surface the way a pigment or disperse print would.

Mills use it on volume polyester bedding because the loom runs faster at the same reed width. A softer hand does not automatically mean a tougher cloth: wash, pilling, and shrinkage still come down to the yarn, the GSM, and the finish. When a hotel program wants a crisp, tightly interlaced sheet, single-jet is still the more stable construction.

On the order, dual-jet is a construction note on greige or on a finished program—not a catalogue SKU and not a fibre. You can leave it loom-state, piece-dye it, yarn-dye it, brush it as peachskin, or print it later. Call out dual-jet versus single-jet the same way you would call out width and GSM. A photo will not settle a two-tone face—ask for a swatch and look at it under more than one light.
