Overview - ISO 8388:1998 (Knitted fabrics - Types - Vocabulary)

ISO 8388:1998 is an international vocabulary that defines terms for industrially produced knitted fabrics. It provides standardized definitions for fabric types and concepts used in machine knitting, covering both weft‑knitted and warp‑knitted constructions and their common subtypes (jersey‑based, double‑layer, rib‑based, purl‑based and combined fabrics). The standard is bilingual (English/French), includes illustrative loop and yarn‑path drawings to clarify definitions, and contains informative annexes (terms related to warp‑knitting machines, symbolic representation guidance, and bibliography).
