Karl Mayer is the world’s leading manufacturer of warp knitting machines. It continuously develops new applications and refines the technology of its machines, thus ensuring that its products are always state of the art.
The innovative delicate warp knitted tulle or net fabrics lend transparency and style to fashion as the embroidery offers a wide range of net patterns. To produce these extremely delicate creations, Karl Mayer has a high production tricot machine that ensures cost-efficient production and also a wide range of patterns. The collection of openwork net designs is based on developments at Karl Mayer, being entirely made from polyamide monofilaments.
The use of monofilaments makes it easy to process lightweight fabrics and retain their dimensional stability when stretched for embroidering. In addition, the risk of the yarn being damaged by the embroidery needle is reduced.
A remarkable feature of these textiles, compared to conventional embroidery grounds, is the soft handle with the transposed openwork structure, accounting for its extraordinary properties. Like previous collections made from monofilament yarns, the tulle patterns feature three-stitch hexagonal constructions which, in contrast to the conventional design, are characterised by holes of different lengths.
Warp knitted fabrics are used for functional swimwear and sportswear, lace lingerie and net curtains, shoes, blood vessels, ships’ hulls and babies’ nappies.
