Introduction to fabric analysis of single face fabrics

This training course deals with the analysis and microscoping of different warp-knitted patterns and/or fabric samples. The results are various bindings and material combinations that are converted into reproducible lapping diagrams. This analysis course builds on the knowledge that is acquired during the “Advanced course of warp knitting machines”(WKS). Therefore, we would recommend you take part in the fabric analysis course after having finished the WKS course.

Examining a fabric under the microscope helped me a lot in understanding the structure. How yarns are linked, how different textures affect look etc. ... This training is like an intro to a very complicated world. To master this will take a lot more practice and time."
