What is knitted fabric? In real life, there are many kinds of fabrics, and different fabrics have different characteristics. Knitted fabric is a kind of fabric that many friends like better. Let's introduce what is knitted fabric.
What is knitted fabric 1? The fabric made by twisting yarns into loops with knitting needles and then stringing them together is called knitted fabric. According to the different forms of yarns in fabrics, fabrics can be divided into knitting and weaving. Knitting can be divided into warp knitting and weft knitting, and knitted fabrics will be used more in the fields of clothing and home textiles.
Knitted fabrics usually use natural fibers such as cotton, hemp and wool as raw materials, but with the upgrading of fabric research and development technology, chemical fiber raw materials such as polyester and acrylic fiber are also used as production raw materials, so the performance of knitting needles has also been greatly improved, and more and more clothing manufacturers like to use knitted fabrics.
Advantages of knitted fabrics:
1, because of the knitting characteristics of knitted fabrics, there is a lot of room for expansion around the loops of the fabrics, so the elasticity and flexibility of the fabrics are excellent, and the wearing of the fabrics cannot limit human activities (such as jumping and bending), so it is the first choice for making sportswear.
2. The raw materials of' weaving' are natural fibers or some fluffy chemical fibers. Their yarn twist is low and their fabric structure is porous, which greatly reduces the friction between clothes and skin. Fabric is soft and comfortable, which is very suitable as raw material for close-fitting clothes.
3. Knitted fabrics have airbag structure inside, and natural fibers have certain hygroscopicity and breathability, so knitted fabrics are very breathable and cool. Now a large part of summer clothes on the market are made of knitted fabrics.
4. The knitted fabric mentioned above has excellent elasticity, so it can recover automatically after being stretched by external force, and it is not easy to leave wrinkles. If it is a knitted fabric of chemical fiber, it is easy to feel dry after washing.
Disadvantages of knitted fabrics:
Knitted fabrics are easy to pilling or pilling after being worn for a long time or washed, and the fabric structure is loose and easy to wear, which shortens the service life of clothing. The fabric size is unstable, and if it is a knitted fabric with natural fibers, it is likely to shrink.
What is knitted fabric? Knitted fabric is a fabric in which yarns move regularly by knitting machine to form loops, and the loops are nested in series with each other. The loop is the smallest basic unit of knitted fabric. This is also an important sign to identify knitted fabrics.
The difference between knitted fabric and woven fabric lies in the different shapes of yarns in the fabric. Knitted fabrics are divided into weft-knitted fabrics and warp-knitted fabrics according to the different ways of yarn stringing. At present, knitted fabrics are widely used in clothing and school uniform fabrics, lining, home textiles and other products, which are deeply loved by consumers.
Knitted fabrics are divided into two categories:
I. Weft knitted fabric:
Weft-knitted fabric is a fabric formed by bending one (or several) yarns into loops in transverse order on flat knitting machine and stringing them together in longitudinal direction. Weft knitted fabric has high elasticity and is suitable for underwear, sweaters, etc.
Second, the warp knitted fabric:
Warp-knitted fabric is made up of a group (or groups) of yarns arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction on the warp knitting machine, bent into loops and nested with each other at the same time. Warp-knitted fabrics are not easy to fall off, less elastic than weft-knitted fabrics, and have better dimensional stability. They are suitable for fashion fabrics, coat fabrics, decorative fabrics and so on.
Advantages of knitted fabrics: soft texture, moisture absorption and breathability, excellent elasticity and extensibility, and strong productivity. Knitted clothing is comfortable to wear and comfortable to the skin, which can fully reflect the human body curve.
Disadvantages of knitted fabrics: easy to fall off, curl and snag, not as durable as woven fabrics.
Cleaning and maintenance
First, washing
1, all kinds of detergents can be washed by hand and machine, but it is not suitable for chlorine bleaching. 2. White clothes can be washed with strong alkaline detergent at high temperature to play a bleaching role. 3, fabric soaking time should not be too long, so as to avoid fabric fading. 4, should be dry in the shade, avoid exposure to the sun, so as to avoid clothes fading, when drying in the sun, the inside will be outward. 5. Separate from other clothes and don't wash them together. 6. Never wring it out to avoid wrinkling.
Second, maintenance
1, underwear should not be soaked in hot water to avoid yellow sweat spots. 2, pay attention to ventilation, to avoid the fabric be affected with damp. 3, wash and dry, dark and light colors are separated, it is best not to put them together, put mothballs to avoid insects. 4, should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, so as not to reduce the fastness and cause fading and yellowing.
What is knitted fabric 3 Knitted fabric is a fabric formed by bending yarns into loops and threading them together with knitting needles. The difference between knitted fabric and woven fabric lies in the different shapes of yarns in the fabric.
Knitting can be divided into weft knitted fabric and warp knitted fabric. At present, knitted fabrics are widely used in clothing fabrics, lining, home textiles and other products, and are deeply loved by consumers.
Knitted fabrics can be woven into grey cloth first, and then cut and sewn into various knitted fabrics; It can also be directly woven into fully formed or partially formed products, such as socks and gloves. Knitted fabrics are not only used for underwear, coats, socks, gloves, hats, sheets, bedspreads, curtains, mosquito nets, carpets, lace and other clothing, living and decorative fabrics, but also widely used in industry, agriculture, medical and health fields.
Such as filter cloth for dust removal, high-pressure pipes for oil and gas transportation, lining cloth for rubber and plastic industry, oil booms for oil ports, safety nets for buildings, packaging bags for agricultural and sideline products, low-pressure hoses for irrigation and fertilization, nets for crop cutting and cultivation, nets for revetment, fishing nets, artificial blood vessels, artificial heart valves, bandages and knee pads. The disadvantage of knitted fabric is that it is easy to hook and the size is difficult to control.
Fabric weaving is relative to weaving. Knitting, weaving and nonwovens are three categories of textile fabrics. The commonly used raw materials for fabric weaving are cotton, hemp, silk, wool, polyester, nylon, modal, Tencel, viscose, bamboo fiber and other pure yarns or blended yarns.
Knitting can be divided into warp knitting and weft knitting. Warp knitting is a process in which yarn is wound on a warp beam and fed into a warp knitting machine from the warp direction for weaving. It is often used for weaving chemical fiber fabrics. Weft knitting is a large circular knitting machine with yarn balls fed from weft direction, which can use conventional textile raw materials. Common knitted fabric products include plain cloth, double-sided cloth, French terry, beaded cloth, rib cloth, large and small jacquard cloth, health care cloth, Roman cloth and air layer, as well as tented plain cloth, tented double-sided, beaded and rib.
We often say that fabric knitting generally means that there are more weft-knitted fabrics. Its biggest feature is that it has the characteristics of curling, shedding, good elasticity and large shrinkage. At present, it is widely used in T-shirts, polo shirts, knitted pants, sweaters, underwear, bottoming shirts, casual wear, sportswear, school uniforms and other clothing.
