WARP KNIT FABRIC
INTRODUCTION
Warp knitting is a family of knitting methods in which the yarn zigzags along the length of
the
fabric, i.e., following adjacent columns ("wales") of knitting, rather than a single row
("course"). Since warp knitting requires that the number of separate strands of yarn ("ends")
equals the number of stitches in a row, warp knitting is almost always done by machine.
In warp knitted fabric the loops interlock vertically along the length of the fabric. Warp knits
are slightly stretchy and do not ladder. Warp-knitted fabric is made by machine. It is used
for swimwear, underwear and geotextiles. Because of the multiple-needle configuration of
warp-knitting machines, the warp knit fabrics produced can be very complex and intricate in
structure; and they don't fall neatly into groups or categories.
Warp knitting represents the fastest method of producing fabric from yarn. Warp knitting
differs from other types of knitting in that each needle loops its own thread. The needles
produce parallel rows of loops simultaneously that are interlocked in a zigzag pattern. Fabric
is produced in sheet or flat form using one or more sets of warp yarn. The yarns are fed
from warp beams to a row of needles extending across the width of the machine.

WEFT KNITTED FABRIC
INTRODUCTION
Weft knitting is a knitted piece of fabric where the stitches run from left to right horizontally
across the fabric. It is usually knitted with one piece of yarn, and can be made either by
hand or using a knitting machine. Weft knitting is the most common form of knitting as it is
simpler than warp knitting, the other form of knitting.
Types of Weft knitting include Jersey, Double Knit, Circular Knitting, Fair Isle and Cable knit.
All of these knits are generally produced using a knitting machine as a finer gauge, more
delicate fabric can be produced but hand knitting is still used, mainly as a hobby nowadays.
