Milanese

Milanese
MILANESE
A warp loom knit fabric, made on the Milanese loom, usually from silk or rayon yarns and very fine structure. The looms are constructed with as many as 30 needles per inch and as there are two stitches on each needle this gives 60 loops in one inch of fabric. The fabric is practically ladder proof owing to the double stitches on each needle, thus if one thread breaks, the second thread holds the texture. The fabric is so fine in its mesh that very little surface is given for fracture. The machine is built from 120-in. to 168-in. wide.
