A method of creating textile structures by intermeshing yarn loops in vertical columns.

Knitted fabrics have become widely used because of their soft drape, body-hugging properties, stretchiness, wrinkle resistance, and contemporary appeal.

The practice of knitting by hand has existed for thousands of years, though the precise beginnings are unknown.

Knitting was initially primarily used to create shaped items like socks and stockings.

Knitted sweaters appear in history during the 17th century.

Jedediah Strutt invented a form of double knit machine in 1758.

Robert Walter Scott obtained a patent for an interlock fabric in 1910.

Advancements in circular frame led to the development of circular knitting machines , evolving from initial designs.

Machines used to create fabric by interlocking loops of yarn in a circular pattern.

A type of knitting where loops are formed across the fabric's width, using yarn fed at a right angle.

A type of knitting where the loops are formed in parallel directions, like woven fabrics, but interlocked, not straight.

The use of electronic controls to select and position needles for knitting processes.

Interlocking loops of yarn to create fabric.

Interweaving two sets of threads, warp and weft, at right angles.

A plain circular knitting machine with relative needle and sinker movement.

Knitting machines controlled by computers to create entire garments.

Vertical lines of loops in a warp knitted fabric, formed by the interlocked yarns.

Horizontal lines of loops in a warp knitted fabric, determined by the needle positions and yarn feeding.

The portion of the knitted loop that overlaps another loop, creating the fabric's structure.

Diagonal floats of yarn in a warp knitted fabric, created when a needle draws a new loop through a previously knitted loop from another yarn.

The side of a warp knit fabric where the knit stitches run vertically, slightly angled, and appear clear.

The side of a warp knit fabric where the underlaps run in a zigzag pattern.

Warp knit fabrics can be distinguished from weft knit fabrics by examining the face and back, looking for the distinct underlaps on the back side.

A loop formed by a yarn guide wrapping around a needle in warp knitting.

The process of wrapping yarn around a needle to create the initial loop in warp knitting.

A type of loop in warp knitting where the yarn guide moves underneath the needle.

A single stitch in warp knitting that is not part of a fabric structure, often used for other lapping movements.

A guide bar in warp knitting that only makes underlaps, creating inlay yarns that don't form loops.

When overlap and underlap move in the same direction, creating a loose, open structure.

When overlap and underlap move in opposite directions creating a tighter, closed structure.

The vertical columns of stitches created by the needles in warp knitting.

The length of yarn connecting stitches in warp knitting, formed by lateral movement of yarn across needles.

A type of warp knit stitch formation where the yarn loops are not closed, creating a more open structure.

A warp knit stitch formation where the yarn loops are closed, creating a tighter, more compact fabric.

A technique in warp knitting where guide bars are stationary for a few courses, resulting in straight warp yarns.

All warp knit structures are made up of both overlap and underlap, which determine the fabric's properties.

The lateral movement of guide bars in warp knitting, creating overlap and underlap, influencing fabric structure.

Warp knit fabrics are known for their versatility in pattern effects, good drape, dimensional stability, and excellent resistance to raveling.

Warp float is used to hide colored warp yarns at the back for creating color patterns in multi-guide bar warp knit fabrics.

Vertical lines of loops in a warp knitted fabric.

Horizontal lines of loops in a warp knitted fabric.

The side of a warp knitted fabric where the knit stitches run vertically, slightly angled.

The side of a warp knitted fabric where the underlaps run in a zigzag pattern.

Examine the face and back of the fabric to identify warp knitting by observing the distinct underlaps on the back.

A type of warp knit fabric formed when overlap and underlap move in the same direction, creating a loose, open structure.

A type of warp knit fabric formed when overlap and underlap move in opposite directions creating a tighter, closed structure.

A guide bar in warp knitting that only makes underlaps, creating inlay yarns that don't form loops.

A type of warp knit stitch formation where the yarn loops are not closed, creating a more open structure.

A warp knit stitch formation where the yarn loops are closed, creating a tighter, more compact fabric.
