A team used experiments and simulations to quantify and predict how knit fabric response can be programmed. By establishing a mathematical theory of knitted materials, the researchers hope that ...

A good sweater is like a cozy hug made out of yarn. For that, you can thank friction. A new study reveals how knit fabrics can take on versatile shapes that allow them to conform to the contours of a ...

Knitted fabrics are hierarchically structured materials exhibiting a complex set of structure-property-behavior relations driven by yarn-level interactions. Compared to other materials such as ...

Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Floor Skrabanja has created a collection of seats made from a single piece of 3D-knitted upholstery that needs no gluing or stitching, so can easily be deconstructed.
