Knitted denim fabric is also a common denim fabric on the market now. Let's take a look at the classification introduction of knitted denim fabric together.

Classification of Knitted Cowboy Fabric

1. Pad organization: It is usually woven with colored yarn (indigo) to form a flat needle bottom structure. The thicker white pad yarn is lined in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio, and the pad points of the white yarn are exposed on the front, with a style similar to woven denim fabric.

2. Single sided jacquard weave: Polyester and cotton yarns are fed into a yarn guide in a spaced manner on a single sided circular machine, and a single sided jacquard twill is woven with a spaced flat needle floating thread. Then, in dyeing, the cotton yarn is dyed into indigo and the polyester is left blank. This method forms a single-sided fabric, which is thin and easy to roll.

3. Single sided flat needle with collection ring structure; On a single-sided circular knitting machine, indigo cotton yarn and natural cotton yarn are fed into the yarn guide at intervals, and the colored yarn is woven into flat needles. The white yarn is formed by weaving loops and floating threads at intervals. If elasticity needs to be increased, spandex can be fed together for weaving.

4. Printing imitation denim patterns on knitted fabrics: This method involves printing denim patterns on ordinary cotton and wool double-sided fabrics using printing techniques.

At present, the main varieties of knitted denim are the four types of woven fabrics mentioned above, but not all of them have good denim style characteristics. In order to be closer to the style of traditional denim fabrics, the organizational structure of knitted denim fabrics can also use large loop and small loop fabrics woven with indigo cotton yarn, all cotton white yarn, and spandex filament, and pearl mesh fabrics woven with all indigo yarn.

Knitted denim fabric not only uses cotton thread for warp and weft yarns, but can also incorporate functional yarns such as Tencel, bamboo fiber, soybean fiber, spandex, etc. From the perspective of foreign development, thin knitted denim fabric has functions such as sweat absorption, moisture wicking, antibacterial and health care, and is widely used in women's clothing, children's clothing, pajamas, sportswear, casual clothing, fashion, etc. In addition, the post-treatment of knitted denim fabric produces different effects through different denim grinding and washing processes, with a natural beauty of "natural de carving", making it an increasingly popular high-end product.

Ring spun denim fabric

With the development and application of new process equipment such as high-speed ring spinning, large roll loading, fine winding, and knotless yarn, the disadvantages of short spinning length, low production efficiency, and multiple knots of coarse count yarn have been solved. The situation of denim fabric being replaced by air-jet yarn is rapidly changing, and ring spun yarn has the potential to make a comeback. Due to the superior properties of looped yarn denim compared to air-jet yarn, such as hand feel, drape, tear strength, etc., as well as people's psychological return to nature and pursuit of the original denim style, the more important reason is that looped yarn denim clothing, after grinding and processing, will present a hazy bamboo like style on the surface, which is in line with the personalized needs of denim clothing today. In addition, bamboo yarn denim clothing is currently very popular in the market, and ring spun bamboo knots can be spun into shorter and denser bamboo knots, which has also promoted the development trend of ring spun denim.

Bamboo denim fabric

When designing bamboo yarn with different yarn sizes, bamboo thickness (compared to base yarn), bamboo length and pitch, and using bamboo yarn with single warp or single weft direction and both warp and weft directions, and arranging it appropriately with normal yarn of the same or different sizes, a variety of bamboo denim can be produced. After clothing washing and processing, various hazy or clear striped style denim clothing can be formed, which is welcomed by personalized consumer demand groups. Early bamboo denim fabric almost always used ring spun bamboo yarn, because it could spin bamboo yarn with shorter length, smaller pitch, and relatively higher density, which easily formed a dense decorative effect on the fabric surface, and mainly consisted of warp bamboo knots. With the development of consumer demand in the market, the current trend is the bi-directional bamboo denim fabric with warp and weft elasticity, especially the bi-directional bamboo denim fabric products with warp and weft elasticity, which are very popular in both domestic and foreign markets. As long as the organizational structure is well designed, some varieties can use a single variety of ring spun yarn in the warp direction and an appropriate proportion of bamboo yarn in the weft direction, which can also achieve the effect of bi-directional bamboo denim.

How to wash knitted denim fabric to prevent color fading

1. Remember to flip out the inside of jeans when washing, which means washing the inside of the pants.

When washing, do not use hot water, use cold water, as this helps reduce fading and avoid shrinkage. If conditions permit, specialized washing solution can be used.

3. No matter what color of jeans you are wearing, try not to bleach them.

If possible, try to air dry naturally and do not put it in the washing machine to spin dry.

5. Do not hang up denim clothing, but try to fold and place it as much as possible.
