“…After the analysis of the investigated results (Table 2, Figures 4 and 5), it can be concluded that the structural characteristics of Swiss double piqué knitted fabrics made of cotton/flax, PAN/flax and pure flax yarns, in the scope of this research, depend on the type of yarn and the length of loop yarn. The works 11,12,43 mention the influence of both the type of yarn and the length of loop yarn on the structural characteristics. In this case (Table 2, Figures 4 and 5) the wales W , courses C , fabric density S and weight W s , of knitted fabrics are linearly related to the average loop length l a , except for the number of wales W for pure flax yarn (Figures 4(a) and 5(c)).…”

“…41 Dimensional and physical properties of single knit fabrics depend on yarn count. 42 In addition to yarn count, the stitch length of the yarn is also one of the most important factors that significantly influences the tightness factor, dimensional stability (shrinkage), pilling, and abrasion of 1 × 1 rib knit fabrics made from cotton 12,43 and wool plain knitted fabrics. 44 Fabric dimensions and yarn properties influence the states of relaxation of the plain weft-knitted structures.…”

The structural characteristics, dimensional change after four washing cycles, non-creasing properties and air permeability of Swiss double piqué knitted fabrics from cotton/flax (70% cotton, 30% flax), PAN/flax (70% PAN, 30% flax) and 100% flax yarns have been investigated. These knitted fabric samples of varying densities were produced on a 10 -gauge circular knitting machine. The results of investigation showed that the structural characteristics, dimensional change in washing, non-creasing properties and air permeability are highly dependent on the type of yarn used. Besides the type of yarn, the structural characteristics, such as the number of wales W and courses C per centimeter, fabric stitch density S, weight Ws, and fabric tightness K, are also influenced by the average loop length la. The weight Ws and thickness t of knitted fabrics are determined by the diameter of the yarn used. Usually, primary dimensional alterations of knitted fabrics of all yarn types occur after the first and second washing cycles. The non-creasing properties of the examined knitted fabrics are mainly affected by the type of yarn, rather than the average loop length la. Lastly, the air permeability AP of knitted fabrics is affected by the type of yarn, the average loop length la, and fabric density S.

“…Single jersey knitted fabrics showed improved resistance compared to rib and moss stitch structures [7]. Abrasion resistance depends on the structure of knitted fabric parameters, such as the stitch length: the abrasion resistance decreases when the stitch length increases [15,16]. Woven fabrics exhibited better pilling performance than knitted ones [7].…”

The Influence of Finishing on the Pilling Resistance of Linen/Silk Woven Fabrics

The pilling resistance of fashion fabrics is a fundamentally important and frequently occurring problem during cloth wearing. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the pilling performance of linen/silk woven fabrics with different mechanical and chemical finishing, establishing the influence of the raw material and the peculiarities of dyeing and digital printing with different dyestuff. The pilling results of the dyed fabrics were better than those of the grey fabrics and even a small amount of synthetic fiber worsened the pilling performance of the fabric. Singeing influenced the change in the pilling resistance of the linen/silk fabrics without changing the final pilling resistance result. Singeing had a stronger influence on the fabrics with a small amount of synthetic fibers. The pilling resistance of printed fabrics was better than that of grey and dyed fabrics without and with singeing. The pilling resistance of pigment-printed fabrics was better than that of the reactive-printed fabrics.

This study investigates the result of various knit structure on various properties of rib fabric. The acrylic yarns were accustomed to make 4×1 rib, 4×4 rib, half cardigan and full cardigan structured fabrics using manual V-bed knitting machine during this analysis work. The consequences of knit structure were measured regarding drape coefficient percentage, bending length, flexural rigidity and tightness factor. The results disclosed that the fabric properties are greatly influenced by knit structures. 4×4 rib knit structured fabric showed the highest value for all tested properties except drape coefficient and half cardigan knit structured fabric showed the lowest value. 4×1 rib knit fabric possessed the highest drape coefficient percentage. The bending length and flexural rigidity was investigated in both wale and course direction. Simultaneously, surface and back sides bending length were also calculated. From the above mentioned data it's been known that the effect of knit structure on flexural rigidity in both wale and course direction were influenced in a very same chronological way. The highest tightness factor was observed for 4×4 rib structured fabric.
