Knitting sub-classification

Knitted fabric is a general term, which includes many small categories. According to the weaving method, there are two types of weft knitted fabric and warp knitted fabric. So what is the small classification of these two categories?
（1） Weft-knitted fabrics are usually made of low-elastic polyester yarn or profiled polyester yarn, nylon yarn, cotton yarn, wool yarn, etc., and woven on a variety of weft knitting machines by adopting flat needle weave, changing flat needle weave, rib flat needle weave, double rib flat needle weave, jacquard weave, terry weave, etc. It has good extensibility and elasticity. The fabric is very soft, solid and wear-resistant. The important thing is that it is easy to clean and dry quickly. The disadvantage is that the moisture absorption is not good, and the fabric is easy to fall off and curl. Chemical fiber fabrics are easy to pilling and snagging.
It mainly includes the following varieties:
1. Polyester knitted fabric: the fabric has bright color, beautiful appearance, harmonious color matching, compact and thick texture, clear texture, strong wool type feeling, and has a style similar to wool fabric tweed. Mainly used for men and women's jackets, suits, windcoats, vests, skirts, cotton-padded jacket fabrics, children's clothing, etc;
2. Polyester knitted labor fabric: This kind of fabric is compact, thick, firm, wear-resistant, crisp and elastic. If the raw material is core-spun yarn containing spandex, it can be woven into elastic knitted jeans with good elasticity. Pants mainly used for men's and women's top;
3. Polyester knitted wick fabric: the fabric is concave and convex, thick and plump, and has good elasticity and warmth retention. Mainly used for men and women's jackets, suits, windbreaker, children's clothing and other fabrics;
4. Polyester covered cotton knitted fabric: the fabric is dyed and used as shirt, jacket and sportswear fabric. The fabric is crisp and wrinkle-resistant, firm and wear-resistant, and the side of the body is hygroscopic and breathable, soft and comfortable;
5. Artificial fur needle fabric: the fabric feels thick, soft and warm. According to different varieties, it is mainly used for overcoat fabrics, clothing linings, collars, hats, etc. Artificial fur is also made by warp knitting.
6. Velvet knitted fabric: the fabric feels soft, thick, firm and wear-resistant, and the fluff is thick and towering, and the light is soft. It is mainly used as outer garment fabric, collar or hat material. It can also be made by warp knitting, for example: warp knitted terry fleece fabric;
7. Hong Kong-style knitted fabric: it has both the smooth, waxy, soft and bulky feel of cashmere fabric and the characteristics of soft luster, good drapability, non-shrinkage and breathability of silk fabric. It is mainly used as fashion fabric in spring, autumn and winter.
Warp-knitted fabrics are often made of polyester, nylon, vinylon, polypropylene and other synthetic filaments, as well as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, chemical fiber and their blended yarns. It has the advantages of good longitudinal dimension stability, crisp fabric, small dispersion, no curling, good air permeability and so on. However, its lateral extension, elasticity and softness are not as good as those of weft knitted fabrics.
There are mainly the following types:
1. Polyester warp knitted fabric: the fabric surface is flat, bright, and has thick and thin. Thin fabrics are mainly used for shirts and skirts; Medium and thick fabrics can be used for men and women's clothing, windbreaker, upper garment, suit, trousers and other fabrics;
2. Warp-knitted fleece fabric: mainly used for winter coats, windcoats, jackets, trousers and other fabrics for men and women. The fabric has good drapability and is easy to wash, dry and iron-free, but it is easy to absorb dust due to the accumulation of static electricity in use;
3. Warp-knitted mesh fabric: the fabric of wearing mesh is light and thin, elastic and breathable, smooth and soft, and is mainly used as summer shirt fabric for men and women;
Warp-knitted velvet fabric: the surface is thick and towering, with thick, plump, soft, elastic, and good thermal insulation. It is mainly used as winter clothing and children's clothing fabric;
