The women’s sweater set in the picture shows delicacy and meticulousness in craftsmanship.
The vest part adopts the weft weaving technique, based on the basic flat needle weaving, to create a simple and smooth appearance. During the weaving process, by precisely controlling the number of stitches and the density of the stitches, a form-fitting silhouette that conforms to the human body’s curves is created, showcasing elegant lines. Meanwhile, some needle insertion and release techniques were employed to handle the neckline, hem and sides, making the edges flatter and more elastic.
The neckline and hem have undergone a special ribbed weaving treatment. This weaving method enhances the elasticity and resilience of the garment, making it not only comfortable to wear but also effectively preventing edge deformation and curling, thus keeping the vest in good shape.
Cardigans also employ weft knitting techniques, and their vertical stripe textures are achieved through a specific combination of stitches. This three-dimensional striped effect is formed by alternately using the weaving stitches on the front and back sides. During the weaving process, equipment such as computerized flat knitting machines are used to ensure the regularity and uniformity of the stripes, guaranteeing the consistency of each woven sheet.
When sewing the woven pieces such as the front width, back width and sleeves, a fine sewing disc technique was adopted. By using basic methods such as edge scraping and pinching, each component is precisely joined to make the joints smooth and firm, while maintaining the overall flexibility and comfort of the garment. Reinforcement treatment has been carried out on key areas such as the shoulders and side seams to enhance the durability of the clothing.
The cuffs and hems are woven with a ribbed pattern similar to that of the inner vest, which increases elasticity. This not only prevents cold wind from entering but also adds a sense of detail and refinement to the overall look.
After the washing process, the hand feel of the sweater is improved, making it softer and more skin-friendly. At the same time, the size of the sweater can also be pre-reduced to a certain extent to prevent excessive shrinkage during wearing. During the washing process, softeners and other auxiliaries can also be added to further enhance the texture of the sweater.
Using a steam ironing pot and a specially designed ironing board, the sweater is ironed to shape it into the designed pattern, making the surface of the garment smooth and the lines clear. At the same time, it can also eliminate some wrinkles produced during weaving and sewing, allowing the sweater to be presented in the best condition.
