CONT

The basic element for the knitting machine classification is the needle bed. The needle bed is the main part of a knitting machine and provides the platform for the movement of needles. It has cuts or grooves that provide the direction of movement to the knitting needles. This direction may be up and down or to and fro but could not be the lateral movement. The machine may be called single-bed or double-bed knitting machine on the basis of the number of needle beds. The single-bed knitting machine is also called the single-jersey knitting machine and the double-bed knitting machine is called the double-jersey knitting machine.

OBS

Double jersey fabric is made on a machine with two sets of needles to produce two layers knitted together to make a double thickness. All the loop tops are formed between the two fabrics so the front and back of the fabric look the same as the right side of a single jersey fabric. Double jersey fabric is more stable than single jersey but has less stretch. Both staple and filament yarns can be used.

Soft exoskeletons, or exosuits, are clothing-like devices made of fabric or elastomers that wrap around a person's limb and work in parallel with his/her muscles... Characteristic of exosuits is that they rely on the structural integrity of the human body to transfer reaction forces between body segments, rather than having their own frame, thus acting more like external muscles than an external skeleton.

What is Batik? Batik is one of the oldest textile dyeing techniques in the world. Hot wax is applied to the fabric before soaking it in dyes. The areas that are covered in wax are preserved and resist the dye, while the rest of the fabric soaks it up. The wax prevents the fabric from absorbing the color.

How to Dip Dye Fabric. Dip dyeing is a special technique used in dyeing fabric. It takes a little more effort than regular dyeing, because you have to hold the fabric as opposed to just plunking it in. The results are worth it, however, and range from banded stripes to soft gradients to ombres.

Wool can also be treated to make it highly resistant to moths, stains, moisture, and fire.

Jet dyeing is a process that can be used for batch dyeing operations such as dyeing, bleaching, washing and rinsing. In this process, dyeing is accomplished in a closed tubular system, basically composed of an impeller pump and a shallow dye bath. The fabric to be dyed is loosely collapsed in a form of a rope, and tied into a loop. The impeller pump supplies a jet of dye solution, propelled by water and/or air, to force the fabric to move through the tube into the shallow bath. Turbulence created by the jet aids in dye penetration and prevents the fabric from touching the walls of the tube, thus minimizing mechanical impact on the fabric.
