What is Warp knitted fabric?

Warp knitted fabric is a type of textile created using warp knitting, a process where yarns are looped vertically to form a fabric. This method produces a strong, elastic material with a smooth surface, often used in activewear, lingerie, and technical textiles. Unlike weft knitting, warp knitting allows for greater stability and less stretch in the width, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Common types of warp knits include tricot and raschel fabrics.
