Knitted Fabrics

Circular Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulatedto create a textile or fabric. Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube.Knitting has multiple active stitches on the needle at one time. Knitted fabric consists of a numberof consecutive rows of interlocking loops. As each row progresses, a newly created loop ispulled through one or more loops from the prior row, placed on the gaining needle, and the loopsfrom the prior row are then pulled off the other needle. A knitting process that linkscircular stitches in a continuous chain yields uncommon strength and form-fitting ability for avariety of uses.

By alternating between single- and double-knit processes, can the style vary, width and weight of the fabric to your exact needs. Circular knits offers more varietyand finer control over the finished product’s properties. Different types of yarns (fibre type,texture, and twist), needle sizes, and stitch types may be used to achieve knitted fabrics withdiverse properties (colour, texture, weight, heat retention, water resistance, and/or integrity).
