The first set of chapters begin with a brief review of the
fundamental principles of knitting, including the types and
suitability of yarns for knitting as well as the properties
achieved through knitted fabrics. The second part of the book
examines the major advances in knitting, such as intelligent
yarn delivery systems in weft knitting, knitted fabric
composites and advances in circular knitting. The concluding
section of the book presents a selection of case studies where
advanced knitted products are used. Topics range from knitted
structures for moisture management to weft knitted structures
for sound absorption.
