What are the types of knitted fabrics

NEWS


Knitted fabrics can be divided into two kinds of underwear fabrics and outerwear fabrics according to their uses. Underwear fabric is characterized by fit, elastic, comfortable, convenient movement, good softness, good moisture absorption and permeability, good wrinkle resistance, but the fabric is easy to loose, poor dimensional stability, easy to hook silk, pilling. Varieties are weft flat needle, mesh fabric, double rib, single rib, velvet and so on. The outerwear fabric is characterized by strong wear resistance, small shrinkage, easy to wash and elastic.

This is because one yarn can only form a circle composed of one loop. Warp-knitted fabric has the advantages of good longitudinal dimensional stability, crisp fabric, small detachment, no curling, good air permeability, etc., but its transverse extension, elasticity and softness are not as good as weft-knitted fabric.
