What Are The Common Clothing Fabrics Used By Fashion Designers?

　　 Knitted fabric

The knitting needle is used to form a loop of yarn or filament, and then the loops are connected with each other. Because of the loop structure characteristics of knitted fabrics, there is more yarn storage per unit length, so most of them have good elasticity (this is also the reason why knitted fabric clothing patterns are relatively simple and the stitches must be elastic).

Knits can be roughly divided into weft knitted fabrics and warp knitted fabrics.

Weft knitted fabrics feed yarn from the weft direction, and the same yarn is bent into loops in sequence and connected with each other

　　 Woven

The warp and weft yarns are vertically interwoven together to form a fabric. Its basic structures are plain, twill and satin, woven fabric It is composed of these three basic organizations and the organizations that change from each other.

Sweaters are weft knitted fabrics.

Warp knitting coil is in the opposite direction to weft knitting. It is a group or groups of yarns that are arranged in parallel. They are fed in the warp direction, bent into a loop and strung together.

Common concepts:

1. Warp direction, warp yarn, warp yarn density - fabric length direction; The yarn in this direction is called warp; The number of yarns arranged within 1 inch is warp density (warp density);

2. Weft direction, weft yarn, weft yarn density - fabric width direction; The yarn in this direction is called weft yarn, and the number of yarns arranged within 1 inch is weft density (weft density);

3. Density - used to indicate the number of yarns within a unit length of woven fabric, generally the number of yarns within 1 inch or 10 cm. Our national standard stipulates that the number of yarns within 10 cm is used to indicate the density, but textile enterprises are still accustomed to using the number of yarns within 1 inch to indicate the density. As is commonly seen, "45X45/108X58" means 45 warp and weft yarns respectively, with the density of 108 and 58 warp and weft yarns.

4. Width—— Fabric The effective width of is usually expressed in inches or centimeters. The common ones are 36 inches, 44 inches, 56-60 inches, and so on, which are called narrow, middle, and wide respectively Fabric It is an extra wide fabric, usually called broadcloth. Nowadays, the width of extra wide fabric in China can reach 360 cm. The width is generally marked after the density, as mentioned in: 3 Fabric If the width is added, it means: "45X45/108X58/60", that is, the width is 60 inches.

5. Yarn dyed fabrics - in Japan, it is called "dyed fabrics first", which refers to the process of dyeing yarns or filaments and then weaving fabrics with colored yarns. This kind of fabric is called "yarn dyed fabrics". The factories producing yarn dyed fabrics are generally called dyeing and weaving factories, such as denim, and most lining fabrics are yarn dyed fabrics;

6. Gram weight—— Fabric The gram weight of is generally square meters Fabric Grams of weight, gram weight is Knitted fabric As an important technical index, the weight of woolen wool is usually taken as an important technical index. The gram weight of denim fabric is generally expressed in "ounces (OZ)", that is, the number of ounces per square yard of fabric weight, such as 7 ounces, 12 ounces of denim, etc;
