EspañolThe basic pattern of warp knitting is a loop-forming process in which a continuous yarn is fed into the knitting zone, parallel to the fabric selvage, and each loop secures a previous loop. This loop-forming process also allows a number of different kinds of yarns to be used, so it can be helpful for producing a wide array of fabrics at the same time.
Four basic stitches are used in all knitted fabrics, regardless of the style or type. These include a knit, or plain, stitch; a purl, or reverse-knit, stitch; a missed stitch, which produces a float of yarn on the fabric’s wrong side; and a tuck stitch, which creates an open space in the fabric.
A tuck stitch, for example, creates a notch in the fabric’s surface that prevents the fabric from curling when it’s cut. In addition, the tuck stitch helps keep the fabric from fraying when it’s worn, which can be a problem with some types of knitted fabrics.
Unlike the basic knit and purl stitches, the tuck stitch is formed by wrapping yarn around a needle and drawing it through a previously knitted loop. This motion is called a lateral overlap, or shog, and it’s necessary to form the stitch itself before it can be knitted by the machine.
In a warp-knitted structure, the needles are raised to a height sufficient to take the yarn, and the new loop is pushed through the previous one. Then, the earlier loops close the latches to trap the new loop and the needles fall.
This method is more efficient than weaving and allows a variety of different fabrics to be produced at the same time, as well as three-dimensional structures. In fact, it’s becoming more popular as a means of creating composite materials and technical textiles.
It’s more stable and compact than weft-knitted fabric, allowing it to be less likely to fray or unravel when it’s cut. It’s also more cost-efficient and durable.
The most commonly used fabrics are polyester, cotton, and wool. They can be used for a variety of products, such as clothing, sportswear, and even baby clothes.
Some of these fabrics are available in a variety of colors and textures, while others offer a more versatile look. They come in a variety of thicknesses and weights, too, so they can be used for various purposes.
The two major types of knitted fabrics are warp-knitted and weft-knitted. These types of fabric are made on either a circular knitting machine or a flatbed machine. Both are similar in their approach, although warp-knitted fabric uses a woven structure and weft-knitted fabric uses a knit structure.
