Knitted fabrics are very common in life. What kind of fabric is knitted? What varieties are there? Let’s take a look!
What kind of fabric is knitted?
Knitted fabric is the use of knitting needles to knit yarn. A fabric that is bent into loops and intertwined with each other. The difference between knitted fabrics and woven fabrics is the shape of the yarn in the fabric. Knitting is divided into weft knitting and warp knitting. Currently, knitted fabrics are widely used in clothing fabrics, linings, home textiles and other products, and are loved by consumers.
What are knitting Variety
Knitting is divided into weft knitting and warp knitting.
1. Warp knitting uses multiple yarns to form loops sequentially along the longitudinal direction (warp direction) of the cloth surface, and weft knitting uses one or more yarns to form loops sequentially along the transverse direction (weft line) of the cloth surface. Loop
2. Weft-knitted fabrics can be formed with at least one yarn, but in order to improve production efficiency, multiple yarns are generally used for knitting; while warp-knitted fabrics use one yarn. A fabric that cannot be formed, a yarn can only form a loop-shaped object. All weft knitted fabrics can be separated into threads in the opposite direction of knitting, but warp knitted fabrics cannot.
3. Warp knitted fabrics cannot be knitted by hand. Weft knitted fabrics have stretchability, curling properties, detachability, etc. Warp knitted fabrics have a stable structure due to the formation of looping knots, and some have extremely little elasticity
