1. Classification by use
Knitted fabrics can be divided into underwear fabrics and outerwear fabrics according to their uses. The characteristics of underwear fabric are fit, elastic, comfortable, easy to move, good softness, good moisture absorption and permeability, and good wrinkle resistance, but the fabric is easy to loose, poor dimensional stability, easy to hook and pilling. Varieties include weft flat needle, mesh fabric, double rib, single rib, velvet and so on. Outer clothing fabric is characterized by strong, wear-resistant, small shrinkage, easy to wash, elastic.
2. Classification by production process
1. Weft knitted fabric
Weft knitted fabrics are woven on various weft knitting machines with flat knitting, variable flat knitting, rib flat knitting, double rib flat knitting, jacquard knitting, terry knitting, etc. It can be formed with at least one yarn, but in order to improve production efficiency, it is usually knitted with more than one yarn.
2. Warp knitted fabric
Warp knitted fabric cannot be made from one yarn. It needs to be made of a plurality of yarns in a loop simultaneously along the longitudinal sequence of the surface of the cloth. This is because one yarn can only form a chain formed by one loop. Warp knitted fabric has the advantages of good longitudinal dimensional stability, crisp fabric, small dispersion, no crimp, good air permeability, etc., but its lateral extension, elasticity and softness are not as good as weft knitted fabric.
