Karl Mayer offers warp knitting with seersucker effect
Karl Mayer makes it possible to produce seersucker-effect fabrics on warp knitting machines. Melanie Bergmann, Textile Technology Product Developer at Karl Mayer is responsible for the breakthrough
Seersucker clothing is a hit every summer season. The fabrics look cool and can be worn without breaking into a sweat. This is thanks to slightly three-dimensional relief-like fabric sides. The crepe-like surfaces ensure that the textiles do not lie directly on the skin, but are instead kept away from the body. This allows for ventilation and moisture balance. What’s more, the relief-like structures mean the pieces do not need to be ironed after washing and also give the fabric its name. The word seersucker originates from Persia and means shir-o-shekar, meaning milk and sugar.
