List of Knitting Machines | Machineries are Used for Garments Manufacturing

Knitting Machines: 

Knitted fabric differs vastly from woven fabrics. Woven fabric is formed substantially by interlacing of a series of lengthwise and crosswise threads. Knitting is the process in which fabrics are produced by set of connected loops from a series of yam in weft or warp direction is called knitting..

Garment machines: 
Clothing or garments protect the human body from extreme weather and other features for the environment. Clothes are worn for resignation of shame, safety, comfort, modesty and to reflect religious, cultural and social meaning. Ancient people used Grasses, reeds, leaves and stems to cover their body of purely the vegetable origin. And then they started to use the skin of animals as to wear as their clothes. Now a days various fashionable cloths are manufactured by using different types of machineries. In this article, I will give list of machineries used in apparel manufacturing.
