Modern curtains with a striped look
Efficient and sustainable production on the TM WEFT opens up new design and market potential Learn moreLightweight curtain fabrics with subtle striped patterns blend seamlessly into any interior design. They are among the basics of window decoration, are in constant demand and ensure good business, especially when productivity in their manufacture is right.
Production on the TM WEFT warp knitting machine with weft insertion is particularly efficient and sustainable. Compared to the equally common production on waterjet machines, there is significantly less environmental impact from wastewater, and the output is considerably higher. Following a performance boost just under two years ago, the latest generation of TM WEFT is even faster than the previous version. The maximum increase in working speed is 20%.
TM WEFT also impresses in terms of pattern potential. The ability to modify the weft repeat and stitch density allows designs with varying degrees of transparency and width to be produced.

TM WEFT also impresses in terms of pattern potential.
The ability to modify the weft repeat and mesh density allows designs with varying degrees of transparency and width to be produced.
The design of the pattern stripes is defined by the threading of up to 30 threads in the yarn laying carriage, and the width of the stripes is determined by the stitch density and the number of strokes. The size of the transparent areas in between can be individually designed by adjusting the stitch density – with a range of one to 90 stitches. Effect yarns in the weft area provide further design options. Whether exciting glitter from Lurex, fluffy feather yarn looks or wool-like appearances from bouclé yarns – the possibilities are diverse and creatively effective.
Its exceptional performance is sparking interest in a technology switch among traditional weaving companies – particularly due to the prospect of reduced machine and personnel requirements – and among warp knitting companies in the clothing sector. TM WEFT is firmly established in interlining production, but its patterning capabilities mean it is increasingly being used for the manufacture of outerwear and home textiles items.
Do you have any questions about the possibilities of TM WEFT in the home textiles sector?
