Knitted fabrics are made by knitting technology. They are made of coils that are interlaced with each other and are elastic, soft, and breathable. The production process of knitted fabrics is divided into two types: weft knitting and warp knitting:
Weft knitting: The yarn is woven horizontally along the fabric, which is common in T-shirts, sweaters, etc.
Warp knitting: The yarn is woven longitudinally along the fabric, mostly used in underwear, sportswear, etc.
Features
Elasticity: The coil structure gives the fabric good elasticity.
Softness: It feels soft and is comfortable to wear.
Breathability: The gaps between the coils help air circulation.
Diversity: A variety of appearances and performances can be achieved through different yarns and processes.
Types
Plain knitting: The most common knitted fabric, such as T-shirt fabric.
Ribbed knitting: It has vertical stripes and is often used for collars and cuffs.
Jacquard knitting: Patterns are formed through complex processes, such as sweaters and scarves.
Application areas
Clothing: T-shirts, sweaters, underwear, sportswear, etc.
