Fleece fabrics are knitted so that, when finished, they will have a short to medium nap that has a soft, pleasant hand. It will provide warmth body, as well as moisture wicking & absorption, if desired. The kind of fibers used is dependent upon the use of objective. They are used for such purposes as linens, active sportswear, outwear & plush toys. Fleece knits can be made on circular knitting m/c in any one of three different types of construction. The m/c employing sinker top, dial cylinder mechanisms with these equipments various effects can be produced. Two thread fleeces: One type of fleece knit is the 2-yarn system. One yarn which provides the ground or body is knitted either in single or double jersey construction. The second yarn, which may be coarser and heavier to accommodate subsequent happing, is the floating or inlay yarn that is tucked at predetermined intervals on selected needles. This is the most productive method of making fleece knit. Two thread fleece called simple fleece. Feeder No. 1 : Feeder No. 2 : Feeder No. 3 : Feeder No. 4 :

Three thread fleece: One type of fleece knit construction is the 3-yarn system, where 3 years are fed sequentially from separate yarn positions around the cylinder of the m/c the first yarn is the backing or fleece yarn. The 2nd & 3rd yarn are the tie-in & ground yarns which are fed successively in a plaiting relationship & knitted so that the fleece yarn is enough of pre-determined intervals between them. This result in the fleece yarn being floated on the technical back of the fabric & held in place by the wales of plaited tie in a ground yarns. The technique hides the fleece yarn from the technical face so that it will be exposed only on the back. The fleece yarn, which may be coarse spun & low twist, can thus subsequently be readily napped & given other surface finisher. Three thread fleece called invisible fleece.
