Selection of suitable knitting parameters for 1 x 1 rib collar manufacturing in V-bed knitting machine

Abstract

The main components of a polo shirt are the body and collar. For different body measurements, different collar sizes are needed. It is very crucial to select the perfect collar size according to body size; otherwise, collar size will be larger or smaller than the required size. However, producing and maintaining perfect collar size concerning body size is very tough as the collar is tiny. If the finished collar size is larger or smaller than the appropriate size, the manufacturer is supposed attach the incorrectly measured collar to the body, placing the customer at risk of a vital quality argument. Otherwise, the manufacturer would have to remake the collar, wasting both time and money. Sometimes, the knitting industry has to deal with purchase order cancellations due to a lack of lead time for replication. To avoid the complexities described earlier, quantitative equations for collar production based on the number of ply, stitch duration, and needle count were established in this study. The precision of this exploration work is approximately 100 percent for matching exact collar size with body size. As a result, the evolved technique can be used in the textile knitting industry to ensure that accurate specifications are met the first time.

An approach to improve the elasticity of rib fabric through mechanical and chemical finishing

“…The 1×1, 2×2, and 4×1 rib fabrics were used since they are often made in Bangladesh [35,36]. For each 1×1, 2×2, and 4×1 rib, eight identical rolls of cloth from the same batch were taken.…”

Investigating Tear Strength in Sustainable Cotton-Lyocell Blend Siro Spun Fabrics: Twist Multiplier and Weave Type Effects

“…The properties of a fabric are not solely determined by the characteristics of its yarn but are also influenced by its construction factors such as war yarn density, weft yarn density weave type etc. Different fabric construction results in different mechanical properties although the yarn characteristics are the same [26,27]. It is reported in the literature that the plain-woven fabric has higher strength than the 2/1 twill and twill 2/2 twill fabrics.…”

“Evaluation of physico-mechanical properties of naturally dyed betel-nut leaf plate (BLPF) – Banana blended fabric”

“…The thickness of the Banana-betel nut blended fabric was determined using the GSM test. GSM value of fabric indicates the thickness or bulkiness of that fabric [ 16 ]. EPI and PPI of the fabric were also determined to see how many Banana yarns were in a warp direction and how many Betel nut yarns were in an inch in the weft direction [ 17 ].…”
