The yarn is twisted into loops through knitting needles and then interlaced with each other. The fabric is called knitted fabric. Fabrics can be divided into knitted and woven fabrics according to the different shapes of yarns in the fabric. Knitting can be divided into two methods: warp knitting and weft knitting. Knitted fabrics are widely used in the fields of clothing and home textiles.
Knitted fabrics usually use natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk as raw materials. However, with the upgrade of fabric research and development technology , Polyester, acrylic and other chemical fiber raw materials are also used as production raw materials. For this reason, the performance of knitted fabrics has also been greatly improved. More and more clothing manufacturers like to use knitted fabrics.
Advantages of knitted fabrics:
1, due to the weaving characteristics of knitted fabrics, there is a large expansion space around the coils of the fabric, so the fabric’s stretchability and The elasticity is very good, and the fabric can be worn without restricting human activities (such as jumping and bending, etc.). It is the preferred fabric for the production of sportswear.
2. The raw materials for weaving are natural fibers or some chemical fibers with a fluffy texture. Their yarns The twist is low and the fabric structure is loose and porous. This feature greatly reduces the friction between clothes and skin. The fabric is soft and comfortable and is very suitable as a raw material for underwear.
3. There is an air bag structure inside the knitted fabric, and the natural fiber itself has a certain degree of moisture absorption and breathability. , so knitted fabrics are very breathable and cool. A large part of summer clothes on the market now use knitted fabrics.
4, as mentioned above, knitted fabrics have excellent stretchability, so the fabric is stretched when subjected to external forces It can automatically recover after washing and is not easy to leave wrinkles. If it is a chemical fiber knitted fabric, it will easily feel dry after washing.
Disadvantages of knitted fabrics:
Knitted fabrics are prone to fluffing or pilling after being worn for a long time or after washing. The fabric structure is relatively loose and easy to wear, which shortens the use of the garment. life. The size of the fabric is unstable, and if it is a knitted fabric made of natural fibers, it is likely to shrink.
