WHAT sTocKlNer CLOTH IS.

II l. Knitted. and I'll whole Structure
UnraveIs by Pulling One Thresd.
Strictly speaking, stockilet is not
a cloth. for it is not a woven fabric,
but a knitted texture BY a process Of
knitting. and not by weaving, the in
dividual threads Of which a stockinet
fabric is composed are interiaced into
one regular texture. The work is per
formed in a kind of a frame or loom, in
which the yarns are arranged in par
allel order, at uniform distances apart,
a. in ordinary weaving.
of course the machine is automatic
in it's movements and capable of pro
iucing a great length of cloth in a very
short time. The fabric thus formed is
ornamented with q fine ribbed pattern,
similar in character to that seen in
common knit goods. This article gen
orally handles soft, full and elastic, but
lacks those valuable characteristics OK
strength and firmness of texture or
make which obtain in a woven cloth
proper.
The difference between the structure
of this fabric and that resulting from
weaving warp and weft yarns together
may be illustrated as follows: Take a
sample Of stockinet cloth and try to
withdraw a thread and what is the re-
sultl The whole construction is IN
raveled. Next submit a loom product
20 a similar examination and it will Be
found that if a longitudinal OF warp
thread is removed the transverse or
weft threads will remain, while on the
other hand, if the latter dre withdrawn,
the warp threads will, although the
texture may be partly destroyed. still
remain 10 a certain extent undis-
nrbed.
Again. The manner in which q knitted
fabric il constructed limits the designer
10 one class Of weave ELECTS, these be-
ing Of a stockinet character, whereas
the principles Of weaving are of such a
description as 70 admit of unlimited
change or variation in design.-DT
