Knitting: 

Knitting is one kind of fabric manufacturing process. This type of fabric is produced by forming a loop. The Knitting Manager is responsible for the production of the knitting section. In this article, I will give a production flowchart of the knitting department in the fabric manufacturing industry. It starts with collecting orders from buyers and will end by delivering the product to the dyeing unit. Flow Chart of Knitting Section is as follows:

Knit fabrics are mainly constructed by interloping one or more sets of fiber or yarn. The most common examples of clothing utilizing knit fabric are socks. Knitting has a versatile manufacturing process. As an entire product could manufacture on a single knitting machine.

Knitting is much faster than weaving. Due to the looping, more yarn is required to manufacture a knitted product than a comparable woven product. Knits are very comfortable fabrics. The loop structure of the knit fabric contributes to elasticity beyond what is capable of the fibers alone. It’s prone to snagging and has a higher potential shrinkage than a woven.
