When knitwear need a woven
Knitwear can be cut from more than one construction. This note is only about starting with a woven.
Why start here
For knitwear, the brief needs dimensional stability. A useful hand note is stable loop structure.
A woven is the right first filter when stable loop structure matters for the knitwear piece.
When to switch
If the knitwear piece needs the other construction, start a separate marketplace search. Mixing woven and the alternative in one grid makes GSM meaningless.
Questions
- Is a woven required for knitwear?
- No. It is a starting constraint. gauge matched to silhouette can still rule it out.
