Classification of fabrics

Fabric is one of the important components of clothing, and it is also the most basic element. The selection of fabric is related to the overall quality, comfort, and aesthetics of clothing.

According to the production process and weaving method of fabrics, they can be divided into two common categories: knitted fabrics and woven fabrics.

Woven is formed by interweaving two or more sets of mutually perpendicular yarns at a 90 degree angle in warp and weft; Knitting is the process of forming a loop of yarn by bending it into a loop and then threading it together. Therefore, the most obvious difference between the two is that the elasticity and stretchability of knitted fabrics are much higher than those of woven fabrics, so knitted fabrics are suitable for making tight and close fitting clothing such as underwear, sportswear, and so on; The texture of woven fabric is uniform and smooth, making it suitable for making straight jackets, pants, work clothes, and so on.
