KARL MAYER's HKS 2-SE Expands Possibilities for Premium Stretch WARP KNITS
Warp knitted fabrics with a woven look are more in demand than ever in the fashion and apparel industries.

When it comes to the highly efficient production of premium-quality stretch WARP KNITS, the HKS 2-SE has long been the machine of choice. KARL MAYER’s best-selling tricot machine produces standard elastic fabrics characterized by high gauges, smooth, delicate surfaces, and a soft hand feel.
