A google search showed it was the same as unidirection fabric. Is that correct, or is knitted something else? Woven fabric looks like a burlap bag, a very coarse weave. Knitted fabric looks like suit fabric, very fine, tightly knitted fabric. Do a Google for Knytex, then DB170. That will get you to a double bias (+/-45), 17 oz/sq yard material. It is about all I use these days. There are also what are known as "Uni" fabrics which have the fiber oriented either 0 or 90 degrees to the run of the roll. Lew |
