A type of knitting in which the yarns generally run lengthwise in the fabric. The yarns are prepared as warps on beams with one or more yarns for each needle. Examples Rachel (a plain or lacy knit) and Tricot (run resistant) Knitting.
a method of making a knitted fabric in which the loops made from each of several warp threads are formed substantially along the length of the fabric. Warp knitting is characterised by the fact that each warp thread is fed more or less in line with the direction in which the fabric is produced.
Knitting where the loops from each warp thread are formed predominantly along the length of the fabric. The process tends to be used for wider fabrics that are mainly produced on flat bed machines.
A knitting process in which each needle has its own yarn, producing parallel rows of vertical loops called wales. Creates a knit fabric with the dimensional stability of a woven or knitted fabric.
A type of knitted fabric construction in which the yarns are formed into stitches in a lengthwise manner. Warp knits are generally less elastic than weft knits. Common examples of warp knits are tricot knits and raschel knits.
Warp knitting is a family of knitting methods in which the yarn zigzags along the length of the fabric, i.e., following adjacent columns ("wales") of knitting, rather than a single row ("course"). For comparison, knitting across the width of the fabric is called weft knitting.
