Hello. This is Kayaba from Apparel X Trend Blog.
Today, as the title suggests, I would like to introduce you to double knit textile.
double knit is a knit material made by circular knitting, in which two pieces of textile, one on the front and the other on the back, are layered together and the front and back thread are connected by a middle thread .
It looks like a double face of fabric.

It seems that this structure is called this because it resembles a cardboard double knit . The inner thread of the double knit corresponds to the inner thread in the above diagram. Like double knit, double knit also has a hollow structure.
Due to its characteristics, double knit is a firm textile that does not wrinkle easily. Furthermore, many products made from synthetic fibers such as polyester have good color and are circular interlock knitting to the touch.
It is a popular product that goes well with bulky silhouettes and goes well with recent trends, but some textile have little drapability, so you need a pattern that carefully considers its firmness. . Depending on the pattern, it is possible that the tailoring can quickly look bad, so be careful.
