Warp Knitting Fabric: A revolutionary force in the field of knitting

In the vast universe of the textile industry, Warp Knitting Fabric stands out from many fabrics with its unique knitting process and excellent performance, becoming a model of the perfect fusion of fashion and function.

Warp knitting fabric is made by weaving one or several groups of warp yarns into loops and interlacing them on a warp knitting machine at the same time. In this process, the yarns are arranged along the warp (longitudinal) direction of the fabric, and all yarns are knitted at the same time. This knitting method requires multiple yarns (warp yarns) to be arranged in parallel, and the loops are formed by the hooks of the needle bed and interlaced. Unlike weft knitted fabrics, which are knitted horizontally (in the weft direction) row by row, the warp knitted fabric tissue is spread out in a zigzag shape, so that the loops form two or more continuous convex strips (wales), and the structure is more compact.

Warp knitted fabrics have many remarkable performance advantages. It has high dimensional stability and is not easy to fall apart and curl. This feature enables it to maintain a good shape during the production process, reduce the defective rate, and is suitable for mass production. In terms of elasticity, although it is slightly less elastic than weft knitted fabrics, it can still meet the requirements of stretching and bending during human movement. It fits the body and is comfortable and convenient to wear. Softness is also a highlight of warp knitted fabrics. The raw materials are fluffy and soft yarns with small twist. There is a tiny suede on the surface of the fabric. In addition, the tissue composed of coils is loose and porous, which reduces the friction between the skin and the surface of the fabric, giving people a comfortable and gentle feeling.

The moisture absorption and breathability are also excellent. The coils are intertwined to form countless isolated air pockets inside the fabric, which has good warmth retention and breathability. Moreover, its moisture absorption performance is better than cotton fiber, and it feels cooler to wear in summer without feeling stuffy and uncomfortable. Wrinkle resistance is a unique advantage of warp knitted fabrics. When subjected to wrinkle external force, the coils can be transferred to adapt to the deformation under force; when the wrinkle force disappears, the transferred yarn can quickly recover and maintain its original state, which is incomparable to woven lyocell fabrics.

The application field of warp knitted fabrics is very wide. In the field of clothing, it is suitable for coats, dresses, suits and lower body clothing, with various styles, and can be directly applied to woven styles to reduce losses. Whether it is a fashionable urban coat or an elegant dress, warp knitted fabrics can add unique charm to clothing with their stiffness and comfort. In home textile products, it can also play an important role, bringing people a high-quality home experience.

As consumers' requirements for the quality and function of textiles continue to increase, the market prospects of warp knitted fabrics are becoming more and more broad. Textile companies continue to increase their investment in research and development, use special fixed yarns, and weave more innovative fabrics through improved warp knitting machines. For example, some fabrics combine the creativity and exquisite craftsmanship of designers, not only have the comfort of knitting, but also have the stiffness of woven, light and beautiful silhouette.
