What is ribbing?
The English name of rib is Rib.
Rib weave is the basic weave of double-sided weft knitted fabrics. It is composed of front wales and back wales arranged in a certain combination. At the same time, because rib weave is a knitted fabric knitted with two needle beds and is a double-sided knitted fabric, we usually classify it as a double-sided knitted fabric.
Types of rib tissue
There are many types of rib weaves, which depend on the different configurations of the number of longitudinal rows of coils on the front and back sides, which are usually represented by numbers.
For example: 1X1 rib weave: it is knitted with 1 needle bed and 1 needle outlet on the front and rear needle beds. The two are combined into a basic unit, and the entire fabric is obtained through this cycle.
2X1 rib weave: It is a basic unit composed of three coils: a front bed coil, a four-flat coil, and a back bed coil. The needle bed alignment is the position of the groove.
Knitted rib fabric is a double-sided rib fabric. The stitching methods of 1*1 rib fabric and 2*2 rib fabric are different. You can observe that the stitches drawn every other stitch on the fabric are 1*1 rib fabric. , the two stitches drawn every two stitches are 2*2 rib fabric. Rib fabric is generally woven with 19-needle, 16-needle, or 12-needle weft-knitted threads.
The 1*1 rib fabric is a flat fabric, which is the kind with no grooves in the middle, and is straight, just like ordinary fabrics; the 2*2 rib fabric has vertical line marks, and there are grooves between every two needles. Rib fabric has better elasticity.
Knitted fabrics are divided into plain knitted fabrics and rib knitted fabrics. The plain knitted fabric is a knitted plain weave, also called a plain weave, which is a single-sided weave, with vertical strips on the front and horizontal strips on the back; rib knitted fabric is a double-sided weave, that is, double-sided fabric. Both sides have vertical strips.
