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

Stitch 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.
14Interlock Fabric Engineering
Interlock offers a balanced surface and fuller hand; machine setting, usable width and dye load should be verified before quotation.
