Description

A run-resistant warp-knit fabric. Tricot knitting was developed in England in 1775 by Crane. It is now the most common type of warp-knit fabric. It is made from synthetic (nylon, acetate, polyester, rayon, etc. ) and occasionally natural (Wool, Silk) fibers. Tricot knits are soft with good crease resistant and elasticity. They are used for clothing and lingerie.
