Knitted sweater

When it starts to get gray outside the window, sweater knitwear is the most frequently chosen material in haberdashery. However, you do not have to wait with its purchase until the autumn-winter period. Warmer covers are also worth sewing for early spring or cool summer evenings. It will work, for example, elegant knitted sweater. If you want to order material , it is best to do it in a place offering high quality products, i.e. such as our fabric wholesaler in Poznań.

Knitted sweater not only for sewing sweaters

Knitwear is most often associated with making sweaters, moreover, the name suggests it to us. Indeed, some types of thick knitted sweaters resemble in their structure knitted material or crocheted. However, it is also suitable for making other warm clothes. You can sew winter dresses, skirts, vests or blouses from it. Openwork sweater knitwear will be an excellent material for making a colorful cape. Such a cheerful accessory will revive the winter outfit, in which gray and black shades often predominate. On the other hand, thick sweater knitwear with hair is an excellent material for creating a fashionable pullover that will go great with dark pants and high boots.

Knitted fabrics for sweaters are worth buying at industry points such as our online fabric store. You will find materials for every occasion such as original patterned knitwear or one-color smooth knitwear.

Knitwear and fabric – are they the same thing?

Many people have a problem with distinguishing knitwear from fabrics, some even use these terms interchangeably. It is worth realizing that these are two different materials and it is not only about the name, but above all about the properties of each of them. Fabrics are woven from many threads. The weft and the warp are joined together at right angles or obliquely, forming a kind of braid. Thanks to this, the material is quite rigid and very little susceptible to stretching (unless it contains an admixture of synthetic fibers). 

In contrast, knitted fabrics are made from one thread. The knitting process is very similar to knitting, but if it is done by machine, it gives much more possibilities than hand knitting. First of all , sweater knitwear can have different thickness, type of weave and accuracy. What is the most important feature of such a material is flexibility. It can stretch, thanks to which the clothing that is made of it is very comfortable and ideally suited to the role of outerwear – sweaters, vests or sweatshirts. It is worth emphasizing that tracksuits are also sewn from knitwear. Here, however, a special type is used – a tracksuit. 

Therefore, if you are not sure what is the difference between knitwear and fabric, it is mainly about the type of weave, i.e. connecting threads or threads with each other. Both materials can be used to create many different projects. For sewing sweater knitwear, however, you need to use a slightly different needle and position the machine in an appropriate way to preserve the flexibility of the resulting clothing. 

Sweater knitwear in our store – what are their characteristics?

In our warehouse, knitted fabrics are available in many different variants. It is not only about the pattern, but also about other properties of individual products. Knitted sweaters are perfect for sewing sweaters, but not only. You can also create dresses, skirts, scarves and blouses from them. It all depends on what product you choose:

• Wool
• wool with an admixture of acrylic, 
• cotton 
• cotton with an admixture of polyester. 

Each of them will behave slightly differently after sewing. Polyester will make it work better, while acrylic will give stiffness, but also improve resistance to damage and converging in the wash.

Knitted sweaters can also be knitted in various ways. In our offer you will find thick materials with a tight weave, but also delicate, openwork, ideal for summer products. As you can see, these are products that will work not only for sewing winter clothes. Sweater knitwear gives very great creative possibilities – so it's worth using it.
