Milano Ribs
Half Milano
•
•
•
Half milano is made up of 1 rib course and 1 plain course; with plain course always on the face side of the fabric.
The resultant fabric is an unbalanced structure, with different appearance on both sides.
Half milano is seldom knitted as piece goods, it is used for sweaters of coarser gauge (5 to 7 gauge V-bed machine with woollen or acrylic yarns)

Milano Ribs
Full Milano
•
•
Full milano has three courses per repeat; with one course of
1x1 rib; one course of plain on one side of fabric and another course of plain on the other side.
Although full milano is slightly modified from half milano, the fabric property is entirely different

Full milano is normally knitted in higher density to give a firm fabric.
The two plain courses of full milano reduces most of the width way elasticity. As a result, full milano is a fabric with much better dimensional stability.
Full milano is produced mainly on medium gauge machines as piece goods for suiting fabrics
