KNIT FABRIC AND DOUBLE GAUZE
Knit fabric comes in several types of knit, varying from light to medium weight. Knit fabric is great for any garment that needs to stretch.
Its properties are distinct from woven fabric in that it is more flexible and can be more readily constructed into smaller pieces, making it ideal for socks and hats. Its properties are distinct from non-woven fabric in that it is more durable but takes more resources to create, making it suitable for multiple uses.
Double gauze is a unique fabric that is extremely light and breathable. Double gauze is two layers of gauze fabric woven together. Gauze is a lightweight, soft, and open weave fabric that is usually quite sheer.
Because it allows air to pass through freely, gauze can be used in garment sewing for clothing worn in hot and humid climates. However, it can also be quite impractical because it is so sheer - slips, camisoles and other undergarments may undermine the properties of the gauze.
