Interlock singing: description of fabric, composition and application

Today there are quite a few varieties of natural fabrics based on cotton fiber. Among this variety of materials, interlock occupies a special place. This fabric, in turn, is subdivided into several types, and interlock singing is considered one of the best in terms of quality and durability.

Interlock singing rightfully occupies a well-deserved place among natural fabrics. When processing cotton, which serves as the basis for the material of interest to us, fibers of different lengths are obtained. The longest of them are especially carefully polished and processed, therefore their quality is the highest. Only such fibers are used to create interlock singing. The density of the finished material ranges from 240 to 330 g / m2.

If we translate the word "interlock" from English, we get "crossing". Indeed, in the process of creating the fabric, the threads are crossed in a special way on knitting machines with two rows of needles located at a certain angle. On round typewriters, the inclination of the needle beds is at right angles. Flat-stitched machines are characterized by an angle of inclination of the needle beds within 100 degrees. There are also such devices in which this angle is 180 degrees.

During production, the threads are treated with paraffin, which makes them smooth.In the process of knitting an eraser, the front posts alternate with the purl. They can be combined in various ways. For example, every column or two. Also, two front posts and one purl can be knitted. The pattern of the canvas will depend on the selected combination.

A striped or checkered fabric is obtained by weaving threads of different colors, and additional shades are the result of printing dyeing. Each color is individually applied to the surface of the material, thus it is possible to achieve a variety of colors. Manufacturers usually use direct printing, the essence of this method is to apply dyes to the desired area of ​​the material. The fabric is pre-dyed or bleached.

Real, high-quality interlock singing is one hundred percent cotton. Although many manufacturers began to change the composition of the material, adding viscose, polyester or lycra to the cotton fiber. Such additional components are present in small quantities, but they change the basic characteristics of the material, make it cheaper and reduce quality.
