A three-thread fleece machine is a specialized type of knitting machine used in the textile industry to produce fleece fabric. Fleece fabric is a soft, warm, and insulating material commonly used in garments such as jackets, sweatshirts, and blankets. The term "three-thread" refers to the machine's use of three separate threads to create the fabric, each playing a specific role in the knitting process.

Key Features and Functionality:

Three-Thread System:

Loop Yarn: This thread forms the loops on the surface of the fabric, giving fleece its characteristic fluffy texture.

Ground Yarn: This thread provides the base structure of the fabric, ensuring stability and strength.

Tie Yarn: This thread binds the loop yarn to the ground yarn, securing the loops and adding durability.

Knitting Mechanism:

The machine uses needles and loopers to interlock the three threads, creating a knitted fabric with a pile surface.

The pile surface is achieved by shearing or brushing the loop yarn, creating a soft, fuzzy texture.

Fabric Characteristics:

Softness and Warmth: The loop yarn creates a plush surface, making the fabric soft and warm.

Insulation: The fluffy texture traps air, providing excellent insulation properties.

Durability: The ground and tie yarns ensure the fabric is strong and can withstand wear and tear.

Applications:

Apparel:

Used in making warm clothing such as sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, and pants.

Home Textiles:

Employed in producing blankets, throws, and other cozy home textiles.

Sportswear:

Popular in activewear due to its warmth and comfort.

Advantages:

Comfort: Fleece fabric is highly comfortable, making it a popular choice for casual and activewear.

Warmth: Excellent insulation properties make it ideal for cold-weather garments.

Durability: The combination of ground and tie yarns ensures the fabric can endure regular use and washing.
