Usually, weaving designers are at a loss when it comes to understanding woolen weaving, and their knowledge about woolen weaving is relatively obscure and difficult to understand. I have organized this material to simplify complex content and master the basic knowledge of woolen design from 0 to 1.
Sweater needle type
1. Machine weaving:
1.5 needles, 2.5 needles, 3 needles, 5.5 needles, 6 needles, 7 needles, 9 needles, 11 needles, 12 needles, 14 needles, 16 needles. The larger the number of needles, the thicker the needle shape, and vice versa, the thinner the needle shape.
2. Handwoven:
It can be divided into stick needles and hand hooks.
What is the price structure for sweaters?
It is mainly divided into three parts:
• Yarn price
• Wages
• After treatment and auxiliary materials
1. Price calculation of woolen yarn: weight of raw materials * unit price of raw materials * 1.08% (including weaving losses);
2. Labor price: Depending on the difficulty of the sweater style, the price difference can be significant. Generally, it costs 20-50 yuan: Generally speaking, fine needle sweaters are more expensive than thick needle sweaters, and cardigans are more expensive than pullovers; Ribbing is more expensive than flat needles, and computer jacquard is more expensive than regular hand cranked flat knitting machines;
3. Post treatment and accessories: The post-treatment of sweaters includes mercerization treatment, velvet reduction treatment, etc.
What is the production cycle for sweaters?
Due to the complex production process of sweaters, the general production time in factories is 30-45 days for delivery (excluding special raw materials).
If it is a special raw material that requires specialized spinning, such as patterned yarn, color spun yarn, blended yarn, and woolen yarn, the production time is usually 15-30 days.
If it is regular yarn, the production time for woolen yarn is 3-7 days.
What are the raw materials for sweaters?
Sweater main material
1. Artificial fibers:
Artificial cotton (VISCOSE/RAYON)
ACETATE
Soy fiber (SOYBEAN)
ACRYLIC
2. Natural fibers:
Wool (WOOL)
CASHMERE
MOHAIR
Alpaca wool
Mulberry Silk (SILK)
Cotton
Linen
Ramie
Auxiliary materials for sweaters:
1. Mix and weave with the main material to give the fabric elasticity and a softer feel.
Nylon
SPANDEX
2. Blended raw materials:
Fancy yarn
Basic sweater organization
Flat needle organization:
It is called a flat weave or a single-sided weave. It is the most basic organization. It has the characteristics of high lateral extensibility, curling edge, and easy detachment of the coil after fracture.
Siping Organization:
Also known as ribbed tissue. The biggest feature is that it has significant lateral tension and elasticity.
Double sided organization:
Double sided tissue is a type of original tissue in double-sided tissue, which is formed by alternating the horizontal rows of positive and negative coils. The double-sided weave is named after the effect of both the front and back sides of the fabric having a flat needle weave. The application of double reverse tissue is often seen in baby clothing.
The double-sided texture is similar to the ribbed texture, and can have various styles of concave convex stripes depending on the combination form.
Gathering Circle Organization:
Single needle bed single side loop fabric, also known as flat needle fat flower. Collecting circles can form various pattern effects such as mesh patterns, concave convex patterns, and colored patterns; But fabrics are prone to lateral expansion.
Loop organization:
The terry tissue is composed of a combination of flat needle coils and terry coils with elongated settling arcs. The looped tissue has good insulation and moisture absorption properties, and can be used to make towels, pajamas, baby sets, etc. The fabric with looped structure can be made into velvet after shearing and finishing treatment.
Saro tissue:
Saro weave is formed by transferring certain coils according to the requirements of the pattern, abbreviated as transfer loop, and can also be called hollow weave or cross stitch weave. Various hollow patterns can be formed through the use of circle shifting organization; Proper combination of shifting circles can result in concave convex patterns, longitudinal twisting effects, as well as twisted flowers and Alan.
