intarsia sweater craft
When choosing different sweaters & knitwear, I wonder if you have noticed the difference between the patterns on sweaters or knitwear and T-shirts.
Some of the patterns on sweater knitwear feel bumpy and textured to the touch, and some of the patterns seem to blend in with the garment. and the pattern on the cotton t-shirt has a slippery touch to the touch.This is because of the difference in their production processes, which present different effects. How do we realize our design patterns on garments? There are four main types of processes commonly used, namely jacquard, appliqué, printing and embroidery.
The difference between jacquard and Intarsia is that jacquard is knitted with weft knitting by selecting needles, adjusting threads, moving loops and other techniques, so that the knitted pattern has a concave convex sense of hierarchy and is thicker, requiring double knitting. And Intarsia is in the yarn knitting, the same color yarn knitting finished a color block, in the longitudinal direction by more than one color block splicing out of the pattern.
How to choose between Jacquard and intarsia?
Intarsia knitting out of the pattern, as if integrated with the garment, presents a natural and clean effect, stronger integrity, through the combination of colors each other to express different styles of clothing. Jacquard is a mixture of different colors of yarn, can design a richer pattern style, more natural pattern, the production process will be slightly more complex, more expensive yarn.
From a level perspective, jacquard is double-layered, with a bottom layer and a surface layer. The surface layer is raised and raised, so it is called jacquard. The intarsia is a single layer, and the horizontal arrangement is a single layer structure.
In terms of color, we need to weave a jacquard in three colors: red, yellow, and black. In the same knitting row, the three threads need to participate in the weaving at the same time, but according to the needs, any color is brought to the surface during weaving to form a pattern. As for intarsia, the same three colors are red, yellow and black. When the pattern requires one color, the other two colors are not involved in the weaving. In the same row, only a handful of sand spits drive a color weave. When changing colors, another sand spit brings another color over for weaving. Therefore, in the jacquard structure, if several colors appear in the same row at the same time, several incoming threads will be woven at the same time. Not required for intarsia.
- In terms of thickness, intarsia is thin and jacquard is thick.
- From an aesthetic point of view, intarsia is more beautiful, while jacquard is relatively less beautiful.
- In terms of knitting time, changing the color of the intarsia in the same row requires changing the yarn feeder, so the time will be longer.
Press the white thread underneath and the black thread floats on top to create a jacquard effect. Intarsia has no crimping underneath.
