Technique Seamless knitting
Seamless activewear is created with an innovative knitting technique that provides freedom of movement and a soft, breathable comfort. Tube-knitted from regenerated fibres, seamless garments significantly reduce material waste and save energy compared to conventional cut-and-sew methods.

The innovative technique of seamless knitting allows the construction of high-comfort garments with a 360-degree elasticity. The garments are produced through a completely streamlined process that minimises the environmental impact by saving energy and significantly reducing material waste compared to conventional cut-and-sew methods.
Regenerated-fibre yarns are dyed as they are fed into the knitting machine and knitted in finished tube shapes. The pattern designs are digitally transferred directly to the knitting machines which eliminates the need for sewing patterns. Depending on the type of garment, flatlock stitching may be applied at the finishing stage, without compromising the comfort.
The seamless method is use for underwear, activewear and leisurewear, where a soft feel and freedom of movement is desired. With this technique, ARKET has developed a series of women’s yoga trousers and bras with a second-skin fit.
Featuring mesh jacquard panels for increased breathability on perspiration points, ARKET’s seamless designs promote high-performance use. By using a regenerated synthetic fibre with quick-dry and breathable properties, the items move with the body and provide non-restricting support.
