Q: Anyone know where I can find circular knit fabric that they use to wrap babies on newborn photography shoots? I live in Australia, so an online store would be great. Ta for any help! I will look through those links your provided. Just to be a bit clearer, I’m looking for something like in this circular knitted fabrics Any ideas?
A: All knit fabric is circulary to some degree. The addition of Spandex to any fabric, woven or knit, will make it circulary. I’ve seen many different fabrics used in newborn photography, from gauze to crocheted or knitted. Photographers may use any fabric that achieves the look they’re going for–and styles change rapidly. To describe what you’re looking for as "that they use to wrap babies on newborn photography shoots" is just too vague to pinpoint it. However, you might try these links to see if you can find what you’re looking for or a fabric that you’ll love anyway: http://www.circularknittingmachinesale.com/polyester-lycra-single-jersey-knitting-fabrics-green.html
Edited to add: That looks like a length of knit stockinette (stocking stitch) fabric. It may have been knit on a standard-gauge knitting machine. It may have been knit from a circulary yarn–there are several on the market–or it may depend on being knit to circular. Since it mentions "no seam", it sounds as though it's a 15" piece of fabric knit as a tube that's 26" across. If you know a machine knitter who has a standard-gauge machine with a ribber, he or she may be willing to knit you one.
