Knitting engineering
Gauge, stitch length and construction jointly shape weight, width, stretch, surface and garment yield.

Machine Gauge Selection
Gauge must be compatible with yarn diameter, stitch density, surface appearance and target GSM.
12Stitch Length and Fabric Balance
Stitch length is a critical process variable for GSM, width, air permeability, stretch and dimensional stability.
13Single Jersey Engineering
Single jersey is light and efficient; edge curl, spirality and dimensional change require yarn and process control.
