How terry fabrics are made?

There are few methods to produce terry fabrics:

Warp-Knitting

Weft Knitting

Weaving

Each method has its pro and cons.

Lets compare and understand the difference beween them.

Warp knitting- Weft Knitting - Weaving

Warp knitting is the process of making a fabric by forming the loops in a vertical or warp-wise direction; the yarn is prepared as warp on beams with one or more yarns for each needle. In a warp knitted structure each loop in the horizontal direction is made from different thread. At least one yarn is required for each needle. Each individual thread in the sheet (warp) forms a wale.
The fabric has a flatter, closer, less elastic knit than weft knit and is very often run resistant explaining high durability of knitted fabrics.

  • Not elastic
  • Soft velour piles or terry loops
  • Combination of the yarns makes each side of fabric different composition

Weft knitting

Weft knitting is the most common type of knitting, it is the process of making a fabric by forming a series of connected loops in a horizontal or filling-wise direction; produced on both flat and circular knitting machines. Knitting across the width of the fabric makes fabric usualy has more stretch ability, might be one or double sided.

  • More elastic than warp-kntted
  • Low density is possible
  • Made with circular knitting machines

Weaving

Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.

  • 100% natural yarns
  • Heavy and bulky, keeps place and uneffective use laundrey capacity
  • Looses softness after few washing cycles
