FABRIC Fabric is one kind of yarn sheet that have a bond which may be made by chemical or mechanical bond and for that which earns strength and show many properties.
TYPES OF FABRIC There are four types of fabric: ▶ Knitted fabric. ▶ Woven fabric. ▶ Non- woven fabric. ▶ Braid fabric.
Woven fabric Woven fabric is a fabric, which is made by the interlacement of two sets of warp and weft yarn. At list two set of yarn is needed to make a woven fabric.
Knitted fabric When a fabric is made by interloping of one set of yarn is called knitted fabric. At least one or one set of yarn is needed to make a knit fabric.
Classifications of Knit Fabric: 1. Weft knitted fabrics: ▶ Weft knitted fabrics is characterized by a series of horizontal loops formed by horizontally running threads and binds with previously formed series of loops of the same thread. This types of fabrics is mostly used in knit garments manufacturing.
2. Warp knitted fabrics: Warp knitting is the process of making a fabric by forming the loops in a vertical or warp- wise direction; the yarn is prepared as warp on beams with one or more yarns for each needle. The fabric has a flatter, closer, less elastic knit than weft knit and is very often run resistant.
Types of Fabric Used in Knit t ed Garments Manufacturing
There are different types of knitted fabrics, which are vastly used in t- shirt or polo shirt manufacturing has mentioned in the below with correct fabric image: 1. 100% cotton single jersey fabrics
2.Lycra or spandex single jersey fabrics : 3.100% cotton double jersey fabrics:
Machine used to produce Knitted Fabric: To produce knitted fabrics Knitting machine mainly two types. They are: ▶ Weft Knitting Machine. ▶ Warp Knitting Machine. Classification of weft knitting machine According to the frame design & needle bed arrangement: ▶ 1.Circular knitting machine. ▶ 2.Flat knitting machine Circular knitting m/c Flat knitting m/c
According to the no. of needle bed. ▶ Single jersey circular knitting machine. ▶ Double jersey circular knitting machine. Single jersey circular knitting m/c Double jersey circular knitting machine
Non- Woven Fabric Nonwoven fabric is a fabric - like material made from long fibers, bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics , such as felt, which are neither woven nor knitted.
Braided fabric Braiding is a simple form of narrow fabric construction. A braid is a rope like thing, which is made by interweaving three or more stands, strips, or lengths in a diagonally overlapping pattern. They are used for various industrial applications. They have good elongation characteristics and are very pliable, curving around edges nicely.
Types Braid Fabrics Braiding can be classified as two and three- dimensional braiding, two- dimensional braid structure can be circular/round/tubular or flat braid .Three- dimensional braiding is relatively new and was developed mainly for composite structures. So, braids are divided into two types ,considered as two dimensional.- Circular/round braids Flat braids
Main characteristics of brai d fabric ▶ Yarn are interlaced both diagonally and lengthwise. ▶ Braid is stretchy and easily shaped. ▶ Flat or three- dimensional braid is used for trim and industrial products
