What is 3-Fleece and 2-Fleece
Three end and two end, course cut (10 to 14), knitting techniques are
conventionally used to produce knitted fleece with low stitch densities (600700). Fabric with a higher stitch density is generally perceived to be a
higher quality fabric because it has a lower shrinkage rate and a more
stable print platform.
The term "stitch density" is frequently used in knitting instead of a
linear measurement of courses and wales, it is the total number
of needle loops in a square area measurement such as square
inch. It is obtained by multiplying the number of courses per inch
by the number of wales per inch. Stitch density tends to be a
more accurate measurement because tension acting in one
direction in the fabric may, for example, produce a low reading for
the courses and a high reading for the wales, which when
multiplied together cancel the effect out.
Two end, course cut knitting techniques are generally used to produce
knitted fleece fabric with lower stitch density, which is generally perceived
to be low quality fabric. Two end knitted fleece fabric constructions are

typically less costly to produce compared to three end knitted fleece fabric
constructions
because
of
lower
yarn
material
costs.

Both three end and two end course cut knitting techniques can be
used to produce knitted fleece fabric having the same fabric
weight and the same stitch density. However, because three end
knitting uses three yarn ends, as opposed to two yarn ends used
by two end knitting, a yarn having a finer yarn count, which is
significantly more expensive, is necessary to produce knitted
fleece fabric with the same fabric weight and same stitch density.
Thus, it is much more costly to produce knitted fleece fabric of a
given weight and stitch density using a three end knitting
technique. See a patent based on this information here.
