Is the fabric plain or ribbed?

In fact, ribbing is a kind of craft, and plain weave is also a kind of texture. It seems that if we put rib and plain weave together, we will think that both are grains, but in fact these two are different. So what are the pros and cons of ribbing?

The advantage and disadvantage of ribbing is that the horizontal extensibility of this kind is relatively small, and it is not as good as the longitudinal extensibility. The dimensional stability of the rib is relatively good, and it has the advantages of being relatively thick and crisp, and its elasticity is relatively good. The advantages and disadvantages of plain weave are that its texture is relatively firm and crisp, its surface is relatively flat, relatively light and thin, and its wear resistance and air permeability are relatively good.

In fact, whether it is plain or ribbed, they all have their own characteristics. Both plain weave and rib weave are crisp, but the advantage of rib weave is that its elasticity and dimensional stability are relatively good. Rib knitted fabric has the looseness of plain weave, and it also has curling and extensibility, which are not available in plain weave.

Rib is a knitted fabric. Most of the clothes we wear are made of knitted fabrics. Moreover, the air permeability and moisture absorption of ribbed fabrics are relatively good. Plain weave also has its own characteristics.
