Knitted fabrics are divided into weft knitted fabrics and warp knitted fabrics according to the weaving method.
(1) Weft knitted fabrics are often made of low-elastic polyester yarn or special-shaped polyester yarn, nylon yarn, cotton yarn, wool yarn, etc. Tissue, terry tissue, etc., are knitted on various weft knitting machines. It has many varieties, generally has good elasticity and extensibility, the fabric is soft, firm and wrinkle-resistant, the hair type is strong, and it is easy to wash and dry quickly. However, its hygroscopicity is poor, the fabric is not stiff enough, and it is easy to fall off and curl. There are mainly the following varieties.
1. Polyester yarn-dyed knitted fabric: the fabric is bright in color, beautiful in color, harmonious in color matching, dense in texture, clear in texture, strong in wool shape, and has a tweed style similar to wool fabric.
