Hey!

     Did You know that there are three type of main groups in which we can divide blouses?  They are based on the way or technique how the blouse is produced.  

​

     So the types are :

• Woven

• Circular knitted

• Flat knitted

 

     So, Woven fabrics are made by using two or more sets of yarn interlaced at right angles to each other and they are produced by weaving.Knitted fabric on the other side is a textile that results from knitting. How can You tell them a part ?

​

     1st

Look for loops or grain
In knit fabric (left), one continuous yarn is looped repeatedly to create what looks like tiny rows of braids. In woven fabric (right), multiple yarns cross each other at right angles to form the grain, like a basket.

Apply the stretch test 
When knit fabric is stretched along its width, it will stretch significantly. Along its length, it will stretch slightly. If a knit fabric is stretched excessively, a run may form. Most woven fabrics can't stretch along the lengthwise grain (the length of the fabric), and there is minimal give along the crosswise grain (the width of the fabric)

Check the wrinkle resistance 
When You ball up a knit in your hand, it will crush easily. When you release it, the fabric will spring back into shape with few, if any, wrinkles. When You wad up a woven fabric, it usually wrinkles easily.

​

     Now, when You know how to separate  woven and knitted fabric, there is one more difference that we need to talk about. The difference between flat knitted and circular knitted fabric.

     Well the main difference is in the machines that produces them.

      At this point You probably have a little more entail , so we can talk about the lab part. This time in the lab we got  a flatknitted sample for test-use that was prepared or us. The task was to analyse the knit construction and the stitch density and make a pilling test in E-lab. We made smaller samples for the test and left the rest of it to the machines.
