Wire Knitting

How we knit wire

Knitting wire mesh is based on principles similar to garment knitting, but is produced using specialised heavy-duty machinery. Initially formed as a cylinder, the knitted material is rolled to produce a lay flat sock which can vary in width from 6mm to 1000mm.

Types of mesh

Mesh is usually specified by the number of stitches per cm. Meshes can be grouped into five broad categories: fine, medium-fine, standard, coarse and super-coarse, but these divisions can cover a wide range of products.

Knitting materials

Almost any material that can be drawn into a wire or a filament can be used to produce a knitted mesh. Round wires from 0.11mm to 0.35mm diameter are most commonly knitted, but it is possible to knit wire as small as 0.03mm or as large as 0.8mm in diameter.

Multi-strand knitting

It is possible to knit more than one strand or filament material into a mesh product. By modifying cylinder feeders, spool positions and the materials used, KnitMesh is able to produce a vast array of multi-filament, co-knit, and multi-strand meshes.
