Knitting production is broadly classified into two categories based on its manufacturing process: weft knitting and warp knitting.
1. In weft knitting, after the raw materials are wound, the yarn cones can be directly fed into the knitting machine. Each yarn is sequentially placed along the weft direction on the needles of the weft knitting machine to form a weft-knitted fabric.
2. Knitting is divided into two main categories: wool knitting and cotton knitting. Similar to woven fabrics, cotton knitting involves a similar process to produce garments. Wool knitting, on the other hand, is relatively less common, and designers specializing in wool knitting are always in high demand among major clothing brands.
3. Wool knitting, such as the sweaters and spring/summer cardigans we often wear, involves knitting individual pieces of wool yarn using a flat knitting machine, then connecting them one by one using a binding machine, much like sewing together fabric pieces, only the equipment and methods differ. This detailed information can be found on many websites; here, I want to share some useful tips for choosing knitted garments.
