Different Types of Knitted Fabrics & Definition


Fabrics, as we see, can be classified into four types according to the fabric structure which are woven Fabric, non-woven fabric, knit fabric and braid. In this article, we will get to know about various types of knitted fabrics that we come across in our day-to-day life.
Knitted fabrics are generally light in weight, comfortable in wear even during travel, but yet require little care to keep their neat appearance. The tendency of knits to resist wrinkling is another factor to boost up their popularity.

Knitted fabrics are produced by two general methods – 
warp knitting, and weft knitting, and each method produces a variety of types of knitted fabrics.

Knitting, unlike weaving, is a process of yarn manipulation by inter-meshing the loops of yarns to create textile or fabric. Knitted fabric consists of several consecutive rows of inter-meshed loops, which are joined together by consecutive loops pulled through one or more loop from the prior row. The horizontal rows of loops in the fabric are called course and the vertical row of loops are called wales.
