EspañolThe unique feature of knitted fabrics is their excellent elasticity, which is achieved through complex production processes and specific fabric structures. Throughout the manufacturing process, key design and selection factors work together to ensure that knitted fabrics provide desirable stretch and adaptability when worn.
Knitted fabrics are made by connecting yarns along a series of continuous circular paths. This cyclic structure is the basis of the fabric's elasticity. Each loop is connected to its adjacent loops, creating a soft and stretchable mesh. This unique construction method gives the knitted fabric excellent extensibility, allowing it to naturally adapt to the body curves of the wearer.
The selection of elastic yarn is an important factor in achieving the elasticity of knitted fabrics. Commonly used elastic fibers, such as spandex, Lycra, etc., have excellent resilience and help enhance the stretchability of the overall fabric. These elastic yarns are cleverly woven into the loop structure, allowing the knitted fabric to stretch effectively when stretched and quickly return to its original state when contracted.
Different knitting structures also have a significant impact on the elasticity of the fabric. For example, circular knitted structures are more stretchy than plain knitted structures. This is because the nature of the loop structure allows the fabric to stretch more freely in all directions, creating a fabric with greater stretch.
