knitting and weaving are
most common methods of fabric formation
major differences between knitting and weaving
-knitting is 4x faster than weaving
-knits made on wider machines
-knitting requires more yarns
-knits are stretchy & elastic
-knits are porous and resilient
Wales
vertical columns of loops produced by adjacent needles
Courses
horizontal row of loops produced by same needles on successive knitting cycles
Gauge
needles per 1/2 inch
wales =
warp
Courses =
Filling
Gauge =
Count
Count
yarns per sq. inch
knitting
process where a continous yarn or set of yarn is formed into a series of interlocking loops
# of wales determins
fabric width
# of courses determines
fabric length
Gauge determines
elasiticity
Higher gauge =
finer, more compact structure
Advantage of knits
-Comfort
-Less wrinkles
Disadvantage of knits
-Snagging
-Sagging
-Bagging
Good characteristics of knitted fabrics
-Elasticity
-Comfort
-Resiliency
-Absorbency
*governed by type of fibers used
2 Methods of Knitting
-Filling Knitting
-Warp Knitting
Filling Knitting
- 1 supply yarn
- needles move individually
- needles move up and down
- loops drawn through row below
-More stretch, shaped easily
Warp Knitting
- seperate yarns for all needles
- needles move together
- needles move side to side
- loops drawn around adjacent yarns
major disadvantage of filling knits
- running
- ladder
Filling knit made of
one continuous yarn
2 Methods of forming filling knits
-sequential loop formation
- simultaneous loop formation
Filling knit method forms
- tubular and flat fabrics
tubular knit
knit without seams
Flat knit
resembles woven fabrics in 2-D forms
Flat filling knits
- fully fashioned (expensive)
- partially fashioned
- knitted to length
Fashioning
shaping flat knit fabrics during the knitted process
Shaping
transfering loops to decrease the width of fabric in certain areas
Loop transfer stitch
used in fashioning
full-fashioned
items knitted in shaped parts to fit together
*expensive
partially fashioned
shaped at only one end
knitted to length
knitted in the form of panels
Stitches used in filling knitting
-knit loop
-tuck stitch
-float stitch
-purl stitch
Knit loop stitch
smooth on front, wales on back
tuck stitch
openings
float stitch
floats on back
purl stitch
reversible
3 Categories of Filling Knits
Single Filling Knit
Double Filling Knit
Purl Knit
Single Filling Knits
-Jersey Knit
-Jacquard Single Jersey
-Pile Jerseys
-Single Interlock Knit
Double Filling Knit
-Rib Knit
-Jacquard Double Knit
-Double Interlock Knit
Interlock Single Knit
may run if made of filament yarns
Double Filling knits made
with 2 beds of needles
-"V-beds"
Gaiting
arangement of needles of double knitting machines
3 needle arrangements
-Rib Gait
-Interlock Gait
-Purl Gait
Rib knitting
- produces vertical rows of loops
-1 yarn supply, 2 sets of needles
-V's alternate on both sides of fabric
Rib knits more
durable, elastic,
-reversible
Jacquard Double Knit
-double knit fabric with structural design knitted into it
-thicker
-yarn-dyed yarns
INterlock Double Knit
-filling knit fabric
- 2 yarn supplies
- 2 sets of needles
-double rows of loops visible at lower edge
Interlock Knitting
- 2 sets of needles
- 2 yarn sources
- alternating knit and purl stitches in vertical and horizontal directions
Purl Knitting
-reversible
-looks like "technical back" of jersey knit
-1 yarn source
- 2 needle beds
-loops on both sides
Warp Knits don't
run and ravel
Tricot
-filament
-fine gauge
Types of Warp Knits
-Tricot
-Raschel Knit
Raschel Knit
-spun yarns
-coarse gauge
-net, lace, crochet
4 Types of Filling knits
-Pilo Knit
-Purl Knit
-Rib Knit
-Interlock Knit
Sliver knit
Fake Fur
Knitting is
faster than weaving
Horizontal rows in knitted fabrics are known as
courses
filling knits may be knitted as a flat fabric or in a
tubular form
The shaping of flat knitted fabric during the knitted process
Fashioning
3 Stitches in knitting
-Knit loop
-Purl Stitch
-Float Stitch
2 Types of warp knits
-Raschel
-Tricot
main difference between how warp and filling knits are made
-filling knits made with one continous yarn
Gauge indicates the number of
stitches per 1/2 inch
