what IS knitting FABRIC?
Knitting is one of the most common fabric manufacturing ways. Knitted fabrics are obtained by stitching of the loops that are consist of yarns. That course is generally called interloping. Loops are the forms that at least two yarns create like a hook shape. As we have mentioned above, many needles in the knitting machine form loops of yarn in this manner we can produce knitting fabric. These fabrics are comparatively more elastic, porous, and common for daily use. They are more comfortable, flexible, and resisted to wrinkling. T-shirts, tracksuits, many kinds of women garments, underwear, socks, and sweater fabrics are made by way of knitting fabric. Knitted fabrics are generally produced at less cost.
Knit fabrics are divided into 2 common categorizations of in terms of knitting direction. Warp and Weft are two ways of knitting for knit fabrics. There are variety of fabrics which are made by both warp and weft knits. As you might probably know, they are two types of knitting fabric machines which are flat and circular ones and both of them are suitable for two knits way.
Jersey is a stitched plain weave method. There are visible vertical lines on the front side and dominant horizontal ribs on the back of the jersey and flat fabrics. So the front side and backside have two different views. Jersey fabrics are preferred because it is inexpensive, fast and easy to varied to fancy patterns fabric. One of the biggest disadvantages of the jersey fabrics is that if the yarn is broke they tend to ‘run’. Jersey fabrics are used for t-shirt, men’s underwear, socks as well as fancy, terry and velour fabrics.
The interlock fabric is a type of double-knit fabric, obtained only by double plate circular knitting machines, by placing the cylinder and cap needles upright and mutually together. Even if we stretch the interlock fabrics in the transverse direction, only right loops are visible on both sides. Underwear has a wide range of use in summer-winter and especially sporty, medical tops.
Jacquard weaves are jacquard fabrics that are produced in single plate circular knitting machines with a jacquard system using multiple colors or by using a combination of sling and jump movements in one color. The most important difference that distinguishes these weaves from other weaves is the high capacity of patterning by selecting the needles separately in the jacquard system. The patterning capacity is proportional to the number of needles controlled by the jacquard system. Our pattern size is limited to 36 needles in the 36-needle capacity mini jacquard system.
