Introduction
Knitted fabric is made of knitting needles that are bent into loops and formed by intertwining with each other.
Category
Circular woven fabric
The main products are: Knitted, air layer, polyester cover, brushed cloth, cloth, etc. There are also many mixed change weaves such as: plain rib change weave, jacquard weave, tuck weave, plating weave, pad weave, terry change weave, etc. Due to the different needle arrangement patterns of weaving methods, the same product will also have many variations, such as mesh fabrics with small meshes, etc.
Flat woven fabric
The main products are :Flat knitting rib, cardigan fabric, yarn sweater fabric, warp knitted plain fabric, warp knitted mesh fabric, warp knitting, warp knitted fleece fabric, warp knitted terry fabric, warp knitted terry fabric, etc. .
On the original basis, changes in raw materials (cotton, linen, silk, chemical fiber, wool, organic hemp, etc. and blends) and dyeing changes (dyed spinning) are added Technological changes (jacquard, interwoven, brushed) and other changes will regenerate many varieties.
Features
It has soft texture, moisture absorption, breathability, and moisture absorption. Most of them have excellent elasticity and extensibility. Compared with woven fabrics, it has the characteristics of high output and is suitable for small batch production. Knitted clothing is comfortable to wear, close to the body, not tight, and can fully reflect the human body.
Development
Modern knitted fabrics are more colorful, It has entered the development stage of multi-function and high-end. New knitted fabrics with various texture effects and different functions have been developed, bringing unprecedented sensory and visual effects to knitwear.
1. Acetate knitted fabric acetate fiber (Acetel)It has the same unique properties as silk, with bright fiber luster and color, and drapeability. Excellent feel. The knitted fabric produced with it has a smooth feel, comfortable wearing, moisture absorption and breathability, light texture, low moisture regain, not easy to pilling, and antistatic. Knitted, popcorn and other fabrics woven with acetate fiber are favored by consumers.
2. Modal fiber knitted fabric Modal fiber is a new type of environmentally friendly fiber that combines cotton It combines the comfort of viscose, the strength of polyester, and the feel of silk. It also retains its softness and bright color after being washed many times. The knitting process still combines the softness, fluffiness, high elasticity and comfort of the fiber with the knitting itself, so that the superior properties of the two complement each other. On the circular knitting machine (circular knitting machine), single and double-sided knitted fabrics intertwined with model and bare silk are used. They are soft, smooth, elastic, drapey, lustrous, moisture-absorbent and breathable, and have a smooth hand feel. Fashionable clothing designed with this kind of fabric can reflect the human body curves to the maximum extent and sculpt the sexiness and charm of the female body. It is a high-grade knitted clothing favored by avant-garde fashionistas.
3. Strongly twisted combed yarn knitted fabricThe cool linen-type knitted fabric made of strongly twisted combed yarn not only has It has a linen feel and is cool and hygroscopic, especially twisted silk. It is an ideal high-end knitted fabric. In addition to the excellent properties of silk, the fabric feels fuller, stiffer and more bone-like, has good dimensional stability and has It has good crepe resistance and is an ideal fabric for high-end professional wear and casual wear.
4. Coolmax fiber knitted fabric has four grooves of Coolmax fiber, which can quickly drain sweat generated during human activities. The surface layer of clothing evaporates, keeping skin fresh and comfortable during activities. It has good moisture conductivity. Knitted fabrics interwoven with cotton fibers have good moisture conductivity and are widely used to sew T-shirts, etc.
5. Recycled Lyocel knitted fabricKnitted plain knitted fabric (jersey cloth) interwoven with recycled green fiber Lyocell, Tencel and bare spandex yarn ), rib, double rib (cotton wool) and fabrics with different textures, soft texture, smooth cloth surface, good elasticity, elegant product style, silk appearance, good drape, breathability and washing stability, are all designed Ideal high-end fabric for popular tight-fitting fashion, casual wear, and sportswear.
6. Glitter knitted fabricIt has a glittering effect and has always been the favorite of fashion designers. On the circular knitting machine (circular knitting machine), gold and silver wire raw materials are used to interweave with other textile raw materials to have a strong flash effect on the fabric, or gold plating is used to produce various patterns of flash effects on the knitted fabric. The reverse side of the fabric is flat, soft and comfortable, making it a better knitted clothing fabric. Tight women’s fashion and evening gowns designed with this knitted fabric will shine throughg>
Raschel fabric, the main features are large flower shape, rough cloth surface, many holes, mainly made of;
tricol fabric has a fine surface and few colors, but has a high output. It is mainly used for covering fabrics and printed fabrics. This type of fabric is mostly used for chemical fiber filaments, otherwise the production efficiency is extremely low.
Q: How to distinguish jersey, mesh, rib, and terry?
Answer: To classify knitted fabrics, we must first talk about raw materials.
Plant fibers: cotton, linen. Animal fibers: wool, rabbit hair.
Synthetic chemical fibers: polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex.
Synthetic plant fiber: artificial cotton (bush, bamboo fiber).
Protein fiber: silk.
Let’s talk about yarn: all raw materials can be spun alone or blended (polyester/cotton), spun into different yarns and woven into different fabrics.
Now let’s start knitting knitted gray fabrics: knitting is divided into single-sided and double-sided gray fabrics (the most basic single-sided gray fabric is called jersey, with only one side braided. The most basic double-sided fabric is called: cotton wool, with braids on both sides) (you can see clearly by looking for a sweater, the sweater has a coarse gauge). Different raw materials and different weaving methods are used to weave different fabrics.
Single-sided fabric (can be woven): jersey, mesh, terry, various jacquard terry.
1. The front is a braided braid, and the back is a terry (fish scale circle). If it’s velvet, it’s velvet. Large and small loops: 1. Refers to the arc length of fish scale loops. 2. The fish scale loops are large loops, and the towel loops are small loops. (Many are conventions, there are no standards)
2. The front side of the knitting is made of polyester, and the back side is terry (towel terry, made of cotton yarn), which is called Knitted terry cloth. After the pile is cut, it is called knitted velvet.
3. Towel terry cloth, all woven with polyester. After brushing and polar fleece, it is processed into single-sided or double-sided polar fleece. Double-sided fabrics (can be woven): cotton, air layer, mesh, jacquard, rib.
Knitting is determined by the number of needles per inch, (how many needles per inch) sweaters are generally needles/inch, and jersey is generally 24-32 Needles/inch, terry: 18-24 stitches/inch. Double-sided is generally 22-28 stitches/inch. The type of cotton yarn refers to pure cotton. Pure cotton is a matter of thickness and quality.
1. Common combing, semi-combing, and rough combing are divided into quality.
2. 5 pieces—-200 pieces, divided into thick and thin, 20 pieces—-40 pieces are commonly used.
Q: How to judge how much yarn to use based on the weight?
Answer:The weight is related to the variety. The same kind of yarn can be woven into many varieties. Each variety Each has its own weight limit. 3. You may want to touch and see the clothes to identify the yarn count, weight, and ingredients. This cannot be explained clearly on Baidu. This requires a long time of accumulation and a wide range of knowledge.
