Understanding Tricot Fabric
Features You Should Know
1. Unique Weave Structure
Tricot fabric is crafted on a flatbed knitting machine, giving it a smooth, sleek surface on one side and a subtly ribbed texture on the reverse. This specialized construction provides excellent elasticity and resilience, making it a popular choice for garments that require a snug and flexible fit.
2. Versatile Composition
Tricot fabric is often made from synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, or spandex, though natural fibers can also be incorporated. The combination of materials determines its strength, stretch, and overall feel, offering flexibility for various applications while balancing comfort and performance.
3. Outstanding Properties
One of tricot’s standout qualities is its resistance to runs, meaning it won’t easily snag or fray. Lightweight yet durable, it delivers both comfort and longevity. The fabric typically showcases vertical knit lines (wales) on the front and horizontal ribbing on the back, adding to its functional and aesthetic appeal.
4. Excellent Breathability
Our fabrics are designed to provide superior ventilation, ensuring they effectively wick away sweat and heat during intense activities. This feature enhances wearer comfort, making our fabrics ideal for sportswear, yoga apparel, and dancewear that require long-lasting freshness and performance.

The Production Process of Tricot Fabric
1. Warp Yarn Preparation
- The process begins with arranging warp yarns on a specialized warp-knitting machine. Each yarn is meticulously controlled to ensure precision and consistency throughout the knitting process.
2. Fabric Knitting
- Using a latch-hook mechanism, the machine loops each warp yarn through the preceding row of stitches. This step forms the base structure of the fabric and ensures its elasticity and durability.
3. Diagonal Rib Formation
- The distinctive diagonal ribbed texture, a hallmark of tricot fabric, emerges from the unique looping pattern. This texture enhances the fabric’s stretch and aesthetic appeal, making it ideal for versatile applications.
4. Post-Knitting Finishing
- After knitting, the fabric undergoes additional treatments such as dyeing, finishing, and cutting. These processes refine the fabric’s appearance, texture, and performance, preparing it for various end uses.
