Introduction to fabric analysis of double face fabrics

Course title WKA-D

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 double needle bar warp knitting machines”(WKD). Therefore, we would recommend you take part in the fabric analysis course after having finished the WKD course.

Target group

Users with professional experience in warp knitting, such as product developers, production managers, staff belonging to the management, as well as employees from pattern drafting and pattern preparation sections.
