In the patterning of RL knits, different images are obtained by working with auxiliary knitting elements such as hangers and skips. Colorful patterns can be obtained with the jacquard technique. Patterns such as lines in the transverse direction can be applied with colored threads. In addition, it is possible to obtain different patterns by arranging the needle and steel arrays.
– Their front and back faces are different from each other.
– Fabrics that are produced in the form of tubes, but can also be cut and used in the form of open width.
– Wider widths can be obtained in single jersey fabrics compared to rib and interlock fabrics.
– It stretches at approximately the same rate both transversely and longitudinally.
– If they are too stretched, their shapes may be distorted.
– When used as a garment, it is worse to wrap the body than other weft-oriented knitted fabrics due to their less flexibility.
– Single jersey knit fabric knit has less patterning possibilities than other knits.
– Since the knitting report is formed on a single needle on a single plate, it is the knitting type with the least amount of yarn spent per unit area.
– When cut, curls occur from the sides towards the back of the fabric and from the top and bottom towards the front of the fabric.
– They have less tendency to wrinkle.
