INFLUENCE OF LOOP POSITION IN WARP-KNITTED PLAIN STITCHES ON STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF KNITTED FABRICS

Abstract This paper presents the structure of a new group of warp-knitted interlock stitches. The difference between them and generally-known warp-knitted stitches is emphasised. We describe an alternative method of manufacturing knitted fabrics with the above-mentioned stitchesusing a warp-knitting machine equipped with a tuck pressure. This paper describes an estimation of the structural properties of the warp-knitted fabrics manufactured by means of interlock and traditional stitches.
