Knitted Fabric Construction
You see how a knitted fabric is actually built and why it behaves nothing like a woven. You do the arithmetic that turns a stitch length into a GSM, and a GSM into a cost per garment.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can read a woven or knitted fabric specification and predict what it will do: drape, stretch, shrinkage, seam performance, and cost per garment. You can calculate consumption from GSM and width, and judge a fabric in your hand against the spec somebody wrote for it.
Who it is for
Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a complete knit fabric line for one order. You close every open decision in the specification: stitch length, yarn type, finished width, shrinkage and spirality tolerances, and their test methods. You run a five-cut GSM check on a delivered roll, and you cost the garment in kilos from marker area and fabric weight.
