Conclusion

• Warp Knitting is a niche technology in the field of

textiles

• However, it is highly versatile

• It ranges from simple open net structures overelastic wear, to spacer fabrics, to highly

sophisticated lace patterns

• It can be used in a variety of technical applications

and can be modified to be used for composite

fabrics
