Knitting Faults in fabric
Knitting Faults in fabric : Weft fabric faults, Causes and Remedies 1. Hole Mark Causes: ❶ Holes are the results of yarn breakage or yarn cracks. ❷ During loop formation the yarn breaks in the rejoin of the needle hook. ❸ If the yarn count is not correct on regarding structure, gauge, course and density. ❹ Badly […]
Flat Knitting Technology
Flat Knitting Technology INTRODUCTION : The fabric which is produced by the machine is usually weft knitted fabric. Flat fabric will be produced. In the flat knitting machine needles are kept stationary and the cam will move along the width of the machine ( vice versa to circular knitting machine). It was first invented […]
Knitting | Knitting Types | Advantages and Disadvantages of Knitting | Properties of Knitting
Knitting Knitting is the second most popular technique of fabric or garment formation by inter-looping one or one set of yarns. Continuous length of yarn is converted into vertically intermeshed loops either by hand or by machine. The most important parameter of a knitted fabric is loop length which can be varied during knitting by changing machine […]
