What is ribbed cloth?
Rib cloth is a knitted fabric in which a single yarn is formed in wales on the front and back in sequence. It has the dispersibility, curling and extensibility of a plain weave fabric, and at the same time has greater elasticity. There are also many kinds of rib cloth, 1*1 rib cloth, 2*2 rib cloth, 3*3 rib cloth, 1*2 rib cloth, etc. Depending on the machine, there can also be round knitting rib cloth, flat knitting rib cloth, etc., depending on the material If they are different, there are many varieties, almost countless.
There are many composite weaves derived from rib weaves, mainly rib air layer weaves and dotted weaves. The ribbed air layer structure is composed of ribbed and flat stitched weaves. This kind of organization has small lateral extensibility, good dimensional stability, and has the advantages of being thick and stiff. The dot pattern structure is composed of incomplete rib structure and incomplete plain stitch structure. According to the arrangement order of the two coils in a complete organization, there are Swiss style and French style. The Swiss-style dot pattern has a compact structure, small extensibility and good dimensional stability. The French-style dot pattern organization has the characteristics of clear longitudinal lines, plump surface, and larger width.
