First, we need to talk about coil skew, also known as slanting. This phenomenon is actually quite common and is mainly determined by the thickness of the yarn, the size and stability of the twist, as well as the density of the fabric.
Coil Tilt: The Secret of Slanting Pieces
First, we need to talk about coil tilt, also known as slanting pieces. This phenomenon is actually quite common and is mainly determined by the thickness of the yarn, the size and stability of the twist, and the density of the fabric. In simple terms, the finer the yarn, the more stable the twist, and the higher the fabric density, the less obvious the slanting phenomenon will be. Conversely, if the yarn is thicker, the twist is unstable, and the fabric density is low, the slanting will be more pronounced. This characteristic is quite useful in design, for example, it can be used to create some unique texture effects.
Curling: The Art of Edges
Next is curling. In a free state, the edges of single-sided fabrics will exhibit obvious curling. This characteristic is actually quite interesting, and we can use it to create some design tricks, such as special treatments at the hem and cuffs to give the garment a more layered look.
Fraying: The Fragility of Yarn
Then there is fraying. If a yarn breaks at some point, the coils will disperse and fray, which not only affects the appearance of the knitted fabric but also shortens its lifespan. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the quality of the yarn during the knitting process to avoid breakage.
Stretchability: The Elasticity of Knitted Fabrics
Finally, there is stretchability. Single-sided fabrics have good stretchability both longitudinally and laterally, meaning they have good elasticity. This is one of the reasons why knitted garments are comfortable to wear. For example, the knitted suits that have become popular in recent years utilize this characteristic, replacing woven fabrics to make knitted suits more fitted and comfortable.
Summary
In summary, although single-sided fabrics are simple, their characteristics are very practical. Whether making close-fitting base layers or cardigans and pullovers for autumn and winter, single-sided fabrics can showcase their charm. The finer the needle type, the more delicate the fabric surface, suitable for making close-fitting base layers; coarser knitted fabrics are suitable for making cardigans and pullovers for autumn and winter, with a certain thickness.
