Basic Introduction to Knitted Fabrics in Clothing Processing

Clothing is made from fabric, which is the material used to make clothing. As one of the three elements of clothing processing, fabric not only interprets the style and characteristics of clothing, but also directly affects the expression effect of clothing color and shape. In the world of clothing, the fabrics used in clothing are diverse and constantly changing. However, overall, high-quality and high-end fabrics have several characteristics such as comfortable wearing, sweat absorption and breathability, hanging and firm, visually noble, and soft touch.

Modern clothing worn in formal social occasions often uses high-quality blended fabrics. However, natural fabrics such as pure cotton, pure wool, pure silk, and pure linen have become ordinary fabrics due to their disadvantages of being prone to wrinkles and deformations, and are less commonly used as high-end clothing materials. Blended fabrics have the characteristics of natural fabric sweat absorption, breathability, softness, and comfort, as well as the advantages of chemical fiber fabrics such as durability, hanging, good luster, and bright colors. Every year, a large number of high-end and high-quality blended fabrics are developed. Sometimes, wearing clothing made of pure leather is also allowed.

Knitted fabric: mainly used for outerwear and shirts in clothing processing. The underwear and sportswear series of clothing, but due to the development of technology, knitted fabrics have also developed towards thickness and stiffness, gradually externalizing knitted underwear. The weaving method of knitted fabrics has become a supplement to outerwear.

With the improvement of modern people's quality of life, their requirements for their own clothing are also increasing. They are no longer limited to the shape and style of clothing, but pay more attention to whether the fabric of clothing is comfortable and environmentally friendly. According to data from the Zhiyan Data Research Center, the recent rise in cotton prices has led to an increase in the overall production chain costs, forcing a series of products in the production chain to rise in price. This has precisely given rise to a new opportunity for the clothing industry's fabrics, with star substitutes such as corn fiber, bamboo fiber, and new plant hemp fiber shining on the market. These bio based fabrics are more water and pesticide efficient in the production process than cotton fabrics, meeting the needs of consumers and even the whole society for low-carbon environmental protection.
