Weaving of textile fabrics

Weaving is a process in which yarn is woven into coils and interwoven to form fabrics. This is also the fundamental difference between knitted clothing and woven clothing.

The knitting methods can be divided into weft knitting and warp knitting. The fabrics used as knitted clothes are mostly weft knitted fabrics. Weft knitting is to feed one or several yarns into the working needle of the knitting machine from the weft direction, so that the yarns are bent into loops in sequence, and then the weft knitted fabric is formed by stringing. The machine used to knit this kind of knitted fabric is called weft knitting machine. Weft knitting has great adaptability to the variety and linear density of processed yarns, and the varieties of knitted fabrics produced are also very wide. There are many varieties of weft knitted fabrics, which can not only be woven into grey cloth for inner and outer clothing of various organizations, but also can be woven into single piece shaped and partially shaped products. At the same time, the weft knitting process and machine structure are relatively simple, easy to operate, and the production efficiency of the machine is relatively high. Therefore, weft knitting has a large proportion in the knitting industry. There are many types of weft knitting machines, which are generally distinguished by the number of needle beds, the form of needle beds and the types of needles used. Warp knitting is made up of one or several groups of yarns arranged in parallel on the knitting needle respectively, while knitting along the longitudinal direction. The machine used to knit this kind of knitted fabric is called a warp knitting machine. Generally, warp knitted fabrics have less dispersibility and extensibility than weft knitted fabrics. They have better stability in structure and shape, and are also widely used. In addition to producing clothing fabrics, they can also produce mosquito nets, curtains, lace decorative fabrics, etc. Warp knitting machines can also be distinguished by needle bed and needle type.
