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.
13Single Jersey Engineering
Single jersey is light and efficient; edge curl, spirality and dimensional change require yarn and process control.
14Interlock Fabric Engineering
Interlock offers a balanced surface and fuller hand; machine setting, usable width and dye load should be verified before quotation.
