Alandale Rolls Out Knitting Technology

Troy, N.C.–based Alandale Knitting will introduce a new knitted fabrics range based on a new patented knitting technique.

The method allows two-sided knitting fabric, with each side having different characteristics.

The major advantage of this construction is that each side of the fabric maintains its own character and integrity and allows an apparel designer to customize differences between outward and next-to-skin layers, said a company spokesperson.

The technology also allows for numerous raw-material combinations in front-to-back arrangement that creates a new generation of reversible and two-color applications.—R.M.
