Background
Long time ago, maybe a few centuries ago people used to knit their clothes with all the effort and hard work. Since its invention in 1579, the business of making clothing transferred into small cottage industries, making hand knitting non-essential, a recreational activity. Innovation has quickly transformed the growing capabilities of knitting machines in forming knitted fabrics and today, you can choose from a variety of knitting machines for your textile industry.

Weft Knitting
Weft Knitting Machines are used to make weft knitted fabrics by just a single yarn. Knitting in weft is a more common method than warp knitting. In Weft knitting, the looms are knitted horizontally in a circular form from left to right of the fabric. Weft knits are made from a yarn fed into the circular knitting machine needles. This procedure is common to produce velvet and suede fabric and then make printed holland velvet or also high quality super soft velvet.

Wrap Knitting
On the other hand, Warp knitting is done by knitting in a zigzag pattern along the fabric area. While weft knitting is done by knitting across the fabric, Warp knitting is accomplished by running knits through adjacent wales or columns

Both Warp knitting machines and Weft Knitting machines can be further classified into many types of knitting machines.
