Tubular Fabric! – What is it?

Tubular Fabric? 

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean,fabric as a tube. This type of fabric comes in handy for all sorts of practical tasks as well as fashion and sports clothing. There is a fabric out there for every kind of task, but more often than not, we simply don’t know whats really available.  It has been used in certain industries for a very long time, yet unless you work or study fabrics and textiles you may not be aware of it.  It may be perfect for your next project. Read on to see if our tubular fabric is just what you didn’t realise you needed!

How Tubular Fabric is Made

It’s quite a sight to watch the fabric being manufactured. Huge machines are threaded with yarn in multiple uniform points around a circular formation. The arms of the machine take the yarn and weave it in a pre – programmed pattern. Have a look at this you tube video from Pickwell Machinery. Wow.

The machines are basically a high tech industrial version of this….
