Question

Amongst the following weft knitted structures, double jersey structure(s) is/are

• A. Rib
• B. Interlock
• C. Single cross tuck
• D. Eight lock

Hint:

- Double jersey structures are made with two sets of needles, creating fabrics that have two identical faces.
- Common examples of double jersey fabrics include rib, interlock, and eight lock, which have distinct structural patterns compared to single jersey fabrics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, D

In weft knitting, a double jersey structure refers to a type of knitted fabric that is produced using a double knitting machine with two sets of yarns, allowing for two distinct fabric sides.
The following structures are examples of double jersey knitted fabrics:
- (A) Rib: Rib knit is a type of double jersey knit where the pattern consists of alternating knit and purl stitches, creating a fabric that is stretchy in both directions.
- (B) Interlock: Interlock is a double jersey fabric with a smoother surface, produced by using two needle beds and two sets of yarns, where both sides of the fabric appear identical.
- (D) Eight lock: The eight lock is also a type of double jersey fabric, where the yarns interlock in such a way that both sides of the fabric are visible and identical.
(C) Single cross tuck is not a double jersey fabric. It is a type of single jersey fabric that has tucks formed by taking extra loops, which does not fit the double jersey definition.
Therefore, the correct answers are (A) Rib, (B) Interlock, and (D) Eight lock.
