| Knit | A warp-knitted surface made on a Raschel machine; the yarns loop vertically along the warp direction in parallel, not across the width. A jacquard mechanism selects needles to the pattern, building geometric/decorative relief motifs straight into the ground. This is technically different from the site’s Mesh & Net family, which is circular weft knitting — Raschel is produced on a warp-knitting machine. |
| Hand | Structured and consistent; a stable, low-stretch surface with light relief that follows the density of the jacquard motif. The hand is less slippery and more dimensionally stable than weft knits. |
| Typical use | Decorative outerwear · curtains and home textiles · structured panels |
| Strength | A structured base that knits the pattern straight into the warp, offering high dimensional stability and a decorative relief surface. |
| Watch for | The warp-knit structure has little stretch and is unsuitable for fitted, stretchy pieces; since the pattern is set up on the machine per customer request, it requires a minimum production run. |
