Knit Fabrics

Knit Fabrics in Canada
The fashion and textile industries make extensive use of the popular and adaptable category of textiles known as knit fabrics. Knit textiles are made by looping threads together repeatedly, as opposed to woven fabrics, which are made by interlacing strands at right angles. Knit textiles are given their distinctive stretchiness and flexibility by their distinctive structure, which makes them pleasant to wear and convenient to move in.

Knit fabrics are available in many different weights and textures, from thin and sheer to thick and heavy. The features of the cloth are influenced by the kind of yarn that is used, the stitch pattern, and the knitting method. Jersey, rib knit, interlock, and double knit are common knit fabric varieties, each with special characteristics and visual appeal.
