In the cold winter, wool gloves have become an important equipment for people to resist the severe cold with their natural warmth retention properties. The excellent windproofness and fit can not only further enhance the warmth retention effect of the gloves, but also enhance the flexibility and comfort during use. As a key link in the production of wool gloves, the weaving process plays a decisive role in improving the windproofness and fit through the optimization of the weaving structure, needle method and process treatment, so that the gloves can better meet the needs of people's daily activities and outdoor work while keeping warm.
The tight weaving structure is the basis for improving the windproofness of wool gloves. The high-density weaving process is used to reduce the pores between fabrics, which can effectively block the penetration of cold wind. Taking plain needle weaving as an example, by increasing the number of needles per unit length, the wool fibers are interwoven more closely to form a dense windproof barrier. In traditional hand weaving, craftsmen will adjust the tightness of the weaving to make each needle closely connected and reduce the space for air circulation. Modern machine weaving uses high-precision equipment to strictly control the weaving density to ensure that the windproof performance of the entire pair of gloves is uniform. This tightly woven structure is like putting on a layer of "windproof armor" for the gloves, effectively resisting the invasion of cold wind and keeping the hands warm.
In addition to tight weaving, double-layer weaving and interlayer design are also effective means to improve the windproofness of wool gloves. Double-layer weaving refers to the formation of two independent and interrelated fabric structures during the weaving process. The air layer between the two layers acts as a heat insulator and buffer, further blocking the cold wind. The interlayer design is to add windproof materials, such as polyester film or non-woven fabric, between the two layers of wool fabric. These materials are light and thin, which can effectively block the cold wind without increasing the thickness of the gloves. For example, in some professional outdoor wool gloves, the design of the interlayer of wool outer layer and windproof film is adopted. The outer layer of wool provides warmth, and the interlayer film prevents the cold wind from entering, achieving the dual effects of warmth and windproof, so that users can keep their hands warm and dry in cold environments.
In order to improve the fit, the use of special needle techniques is essential. When weaving parts such as fingers, palms and wrists, needle techniques such as needle closing and needle opening are used to shape the shape that fits the curve of the hand. For example, when knitting the finger part, the finger part is gradually thinned by gradually reducing the needles to fit the natural shape of the finger; in the palm part, according to the width and curvature of the palm, the needles are appropriately placed or reduced to ensure that the gloves fit tightly to the palm. In addition, some gloves also use needle techniques such as jacquard knitting to increase elasticity in specific parts, such as using elastic needle techniques at the base of the thumb, so that users can be more flexible when grasping objects. The clever use of these special needle techniques enables wool gloves to fit the hands perfectly, neither tight nor too loose to affect use.
The application of elastic knitting technology further enhances the fit and wearing comfort of wool gloves. By adding elastic fibers, such as spandex, during the knitting process, the gloves can have good elasticity while maintaining the warmth characteristics of wool. When the user puts on the gloves, the elastic fibers will automatically adjust according to the movement and shape of the hand to ensure that the gloves always fit the hand. Moreover, this elasticity will not weaken rapidly with the increase in the number of uses, and the fit of the gloves can be maintained for a long time. In addition, elastic knitting technology can also reduce the obstruction of gloves to the blood circulation of the hands, avoid problems such as numbness of the hands caused by over-tight gloves, and allow users to maintain comfort when wearing them for a long time.
The edge closing treatment of gloves also has an important impact on the fit. Common edge closing methods include ribbed closing, elastic band closing and folded closing. Ribbed closing uses a specific knitting needle method to form an elastic thread-like edge, which can fit the wrist tightly and prevent cold wind from entering from the cuffs without tightening the wrist. Elastic band closing is to build elastic bands on the edge of the gloves, which automatically adjusts the tightness according to the thickness of the wrist to ensure a firm fit. The folded closing design not only increases the beauty of the gloves, but also extends the length of the gloves to a certain extent, better wraps the wrist, and improves the windproof and warming effect. These different edge closing treatment methods optimize the fit of the gloves from the details and provide users with a better wearing experience.
The knitting process of wool gloves comprehensively improves the windproofness and fit of the gloves from multiple aspects such as knitting structure, needle application, elastic technology and edge treatment. The tight weaving structure and double-layer and sandwich design effectively block the cold wind. The special needlework and elastic weaving technology create a shape that fits the hand, and the edge closing treatment further optimizes the wearing effect. The clever combination of these weaving techniques allows wool gloves to protect people from the cold wind in the cold winter, while providing a comfortable and flexible use experience, making them a must-have winter warming product that combines practicality and comfort. With the continuous innovation and development of weaving technology, the wind resistance and fit of wool gloves will be further improved in the future to better meet people's increasingly diverse needs.
