WE DON'T MAKE WOVEN GOODS, BUT YOU CAN WITH MIC
#ApplicaMIC
The production of knitted fabric is called knitting and is carried out with linear or circular knitting machines. The process reproduces the effect of traditional hand-knitting, but at an industrial level and with superior quality and advanced technology.
The essential factor in the production of knitted fabrics is the choice of yarn, which must be regular, with a minimum number of faults and with characteristics appropriate to the project to be realised.
For quality knitwear production, it is important to know about a yarn:
- Fineness or count (or thickness)
- Number of garments
- Raw material
- Elasticity or shrinkage
OUR SELECTION FOR KNITTED AND WOVEN FABRICS
MIC produces yarns for the production of knitted and woven fabrics, on circular and linear machines. MIC yarns are available in stock service in the 450 shades of the general MIC colour chart and in the colour selections dedicated to specific articles.
Textured yarns, spun yarns, recycled yarns, biodegradable yarns and coloured elastics are the most popular yarns for knitting. MIC yarns are mainly used for fine knitwear, up to a fineness of 21 with exté.
Specific chromatic and aesthetic effects, such as reflective, metallic, fluorescent, lurex effect, luminescent, phosphorescent, iridescent, are available from stock for design productions.
