The current study evaluates the effect of fiber composition in three-thread fleece fabrics if all other knitting and processing conditions remain constant. Four samples of three-thread fleece fabrics were produced on the same fleece machine using the same yarn count and stitch length
for face, binding, and fleecy yarns. Some important parameters, namely width, areal density, pilling resistance, bursting strength, and dimensional stability, were characterized. Changes mainly appeared due to the compositional alteration of cotton, viscose, and polyester content in the yarns.
The results showed that the fiber composition of the finished samples of three-thread fleece fabrics significantly influenced all parameters studied, except for dimensional stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
