A new textile material, a so-called woven knitted fabric, contains weft threads (4) inserted in the knitted fabric in the direction of the stitch rows and/or warp threads (3) inserted in the direction of the stitch wales. Both weft and warp threads are individually inserted in a controlled manner. The material is characterised in particular by an arbitrarily selected beginning and end of individual weft or warp threads within the material, so that a broad spectrum of patterns can be obtained and locally defined property requirements can be complied with. Materials such as wires, coated yarns, micro-fibres, which in pure knitted fabrics can only be used within limits or cannot be at all used, may also be used for the weft and warp threads (3, 4). The weft and warp threads may also be mutually linked by woven links or may also be partially formed into loops. Woven knitted fabrics are particularly advantageous for the production of three-dimensionally shaped textile articles. |
