We often come across two words when working in textiles: knitted fabrics and woven fabrics. The vast majority of fabrics are divided into woven fabrics and knitted fabrics.
We often come across two words when working in textiles: knitted fabrics and woven fabrics.
The vast majority of fabrics are divided into woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. What are the characteristics and differences between the two? This article will take you to find out.
01
knitted fabric
Let's talk about knitted fabrics first. Knitted fabrics refer to fabrics that use knitting needles to form loops of yarn and then string the loops together.
This process can be done either transversely or longitudinally, with transverse weaving called weft knitting and longitudinal weaving called warp knitting.
The easiest way to distinguish between warp and weft knitted fabrics is to see if they can be disassembled.
Most weft knitted fabrics can be disassembled, while most warp knitted fabrics cannot be disassembled.
Fabric Features
Advantages: knitted fabric soft texture, moisture permeability, excellent elasticity and extensibility. Clothing made of knitted fabric is comfortable to wear, close-fitting, unconstrained, and can fully reflect the human body curve.
Disadvantages: easy to hook wire, and the size is difficult to control.
Application
Knitted fabric soft texture, in addition to good wrinkle resistance and breathability, but also has a greater extensibility and elasticity, suitable for underwear, tights and sportswear.
After changing the structure and improving the dimensional stability of knitted fabrics, they can also be used as coats, mattresses, etc.
Knitted fabrics can be first woven into gray cloth, cut, sewn into a variety of knitwear; can also be directly woven into fully formed or partially formed products, such as socks, gloves and so on.
In addition, knitted fabrics are also widely used in the fields of industry, agriculture and health care.
02
woven fabric
Woven fabric, also known as "woven fabric", is a fabric made of two or more groups of mutually perpendicular yarns, woven at a 90-degree angle.
Literally it's also a good distinction. The ancient traditional looms were woven with shuttles and could only be woven horizontally or vertically on a plane, so they were called woven.
Longitudinal yarns are called warp yarns and transverse yarns are called wefts.
Fabric features:
Advantages: The main advantages of woven fabrics are stable structure, smooth cloth surface, and generally little deformation when overhanging.
Woven is light and thin, and the shaping effect is much better than knitting.
Disadvantages: The elasticity of woven fabrics is far less than that of knitted fabrics, and most of them are not even elastic.
Application
Woven fabrics are generally used in tooling jackets, uniforms, promotional clothing, business suits and other types of clothing!
