There are two major varieties of knitting: weft
knitting and warp knitting.
A weft-knitted fabric consists of horizontal, parallel courses of
yarn and requires only a single yarn. By contrast, warp knitting requires
one yarn for every stitch in the course, or horizontal row; these yarns
make vertical parallel wales. [2] Warp knitting is resistant to runs, and
is common in lingerie fabric such as tricot.
Circular knitting on a circular needle
Flat knitting. The loops on the metal needle are the active stitches, and
the yarn coming out of the knitting on the right is the working yarn.Warp
knitting is generally done by machine, whereas weft knitting may be done
by machine or by hand (Spencer 1989:11-12). Knitting machines use a
different mechanical system to produce results nearly identical to those
produced by hand-knitting. |
