In this series of reports, WTiN provides information about knitting technologies challenges and innovations that are applied in performance textile applications.

In Part I of the report, an introduction to the knitted products and the categories of users of theses products was given. Moreover, the factors affecting knitting quality such as fibre type, yarn properties, fabric structures and additional treatments were discussed, along with briefly describing types and elements of knitting machines.  

In the current Part II of this report, available technologies such as spacer fabrics, compression fabrics, seamless garments as well as other technologies related to digitisation and networking in knitted products manufacturing will be covered. This will be complemented by a non-exhaustive list of commercially available innovative technologies related to knitted performance wear as well as few recent innovation examples from academic world.
