DEFINITION 4 up to 5% and it's legalbecause stretch fabrics to max when making TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 compress loops and shrink
each loop in a knit fabric TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 column of loopsseen on front of fabric TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 rows of loops acrosswidthof fabricsee on back TERM 9
DEFINITION 9
knitsusually expressed in fractionhigher gauge=more stitches TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 closeness of stitches based on size andspacingof needles that form loopshigher number=finer
filling loops go behind (look at middle of loop) not very common stretches lengthwise and crosswise but now they add lycra to regular knit to get same effect doesn't recover from stretch well most common use: alternating courses of knit and purl front and back look the same TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 extra set of yarns or sliver rising from surface of jersey to create pile example: Juicy track suit and inside sweatshirts pile surface is on technical back of jersey TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 lengthwise ribs formed by wales alternating on face and back made by alternating knit and purl stitches example: cuff or neckline of long sleeve tee shirts 1x1=1 knit and 1 purl, 2x2=2 knit and 2 purl more elasticity in crosswise than jersey stable, won't curl looks same on front and back TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 ribbed knit variationmay be 2 or 3 knit stitches and one rib stitch TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 2 sets of yarns alternate front to back forming 2 sets of loops many different color and pattern effects another name for it is interlock stitch
loops go verticaldon't runuse multiple yarn sources (one per needle)wales are alternated between needles to interlock them TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 tricot and raschel TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 made with 2 sets of threadsyarns zigzag down length of fabric backexample: bathing suit liningsingle bar tricot=mostly backing materialtwo bar tricot=lingeriedon't ravel but can curlalmost no stretch in lengthwise directionmost manufacturers use technical back because it's smoother TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 think of lacy knits2 to 48 guidebarsinlaid yarnsspanks: raschel knit (power net)-laid in yarns are spandex core TERM 25
