“Imitation woven” style knitted fabric design
Knitted fabrics are rich in variety. In addition to the appearance of conventional knitted fabrics themselves, the appearance of conventional woven fabrics can also be imitated through different weaving techniques and yarn materials. The characteristics of imitation woven style knitted fabrics are that they have the pattern, structure and texture effect of conventional woven fabrics, and the fabric elasticity is relatively small, flat and dense.
In recent years, imitation woven style knitted fabrics have become more and more popular. Whether in major domestic and foreign exhibitions or in shows, their frequency of appearance is also increasing. Therefore, imitation woven style is gradually becoming a One of the mainstream styles of knitted products.
1. Imitation Pattern design of woven style knitted fabrics
When designing graphic patterns for imitation woven-style knitted fabrics, try to make use of the style characteristics of the graphic patterns to improve the woven appearance of the knitted fabrics. Since linear geometric patterns are composed of straight lines, their own style will add a tough and crisp visual effect to knitted fabrics. Therefore, they are a commonly used flat decorative pattern for imitation woven style knitted fabrics. At the same time, plant patterns can easily imitate the appearance of printed woven fabrics, so they are often used in imitation woven style pattern designs.
1. Straight line geometric pattern
① Stripes
Stripes are one of the more common decorative techniques in clothing design. Its color changes are random and rich, the weaving process is relatively simple, and the texture effect is also Easier to get.
During the weaving process, the yarn is constantly and regularly replaced to form the more common appearance of woven yarn-dyed striped fabrics. When making imitation woven style knitted fabrics, you can also make the stripe pattern more varied according to the knitting process characteristics of the knitted fabric. Use variegated yarns combined with less elastic metal wires, and the same color stripe patterns are interspersed with different shades to form a woven pattern. The dark striped jacquard pattern is common in fabric design, and the fabric is smooth and dense, with a stronger imitation woven style.
②Check pattern
Grid pattern horizontally Vertical, consistent with the warp and weft direction of the plain weave of woven fabrics, and rich in changes, so it is widely used in the pattern design of woven fabrics.
The plaid pattern of conventional imitation woven style knitted fabrics generally adopts jacquard weave, such as sesame dot jacquard weave, which has rich plaid patterns and The fabric is flat and has little ductility.
In the design process of knitted fabrics, the special effects of yarns should be fully utilized to enrich the imitation woven style design of the fabrics. for example. A 4-color jacquard weave is used to weave a plaid pattern with different horizontal and vertical widths. At the same time, the front and back knitting weave is used to make the middle part concave, and the layered texture of the fabric surface is richer.
It should be noted that because plaid patterns are often used on woolen fabrics in autumn and winter, shrinkage is sometimes used.The structural texture is relatively more delicate and subtle. Therefore, when imitating the appearance of woven-style knitted fabrics, attention should be paid to the use of yarns. In order to ensure that the fabric is smooth and the fabric grain is highlighted, try to avoid using fancy yarns with long velvet on the surface to avoid covering the tissue grain. While imitating the structural appearance of woven fabrics, the technological characteristics of knitted fabrics should also be used to carry out innovative designs.
As shown in the picture, while imitating the texture of twill woven fabric, the tuck structure in the knitting process is added to give it a hole-drying effect, and combined with denim-colored yarn, it forms a retro denim style. Because knitted fabrics have good elasticity, they are more comfortable than twill denim fabrics and better reflect the design characteristics of knitted fabrics
When making innovative designs of imitation woven-style knitted fabrics, you cannot just limit yourself to pattern design or organization Structural design should closely combine the two to give full play to their respective characteristics, such as embroidery on imitation twill knitted fabrics or printing on imitation satin knitted fabrics. The combined effect of the two will make the imitation woven feel The appearance is extremely obvious.
3. Conclusion strong>
With the development of the knitting industry, imitation woven-style knitted fabrics have gradually exerted their technological characteristics, and combined with the designer’s aesthetics, their visual appearance has become rich and creative, and the wearing experience has become more comfortable and comfortable. This article conducts innovative research on the plane patterns and organizational structure of imitation woven style knitted fabrics. It is hoped that it can provide designers with some ideas and methods to combine design with technology to develop imitation woven style knitted fabrics that are both artistic and technical. .
