Studies on the Influence of Knit Structure and Stitch Length on Ring and Compact Yarn Single Jersey Fabric Properties

Abstract

This study focused on the effect of single jersey, single pique, double pique and honeycomb structures and structural cell stitch length (SCSL) on ring and compact yarn single jersey fabric properties. Compact yarn fabrics showed better performance in all the structures and their respective SCSL. With increased SCSL, the dimensional properties like CPI, WPI, SD, grams per square meter, thickness and tightness factor decreased for all the structures, while comfort properties like air permeability and water absorbency increased. The tensile, bending and compression properties of weft knitted fabrics improved and compressional resilience and surface properties generally decreased. Total hand values improved with SCSL. Other properties, such as abrasion resistance, bursting strength and pilling resistance improved with decreased SCSL. Combination order of knit-tuck stitches played an important role in all the properties. Double pique fabric showed better performance for the summer outer wear and single jersey fabric showed better performance for summer inner wear.

Effect of Knitting Parameters on Moisture Management and Air Permeability of Interlock Fabrics

“…Several research studies have been conducted in the past concerning performance, moisture management and thermal comfort aspects of knitted fabrics [8][9][10][11]. Kane et al [12] studied the effect of fabric density on water absorption properties of fabrics. They observed that double pique fabric, which has greater density than single jersey fabrics, shows better water drop absorption.…”

Effect of surface treatment and knit structure on comfort properties of wool fabrics

“…This appears to confirm the report of pique fabrics producing lower prickle responses during fabric wearer trials where other aspects of fabric design and construction and WCM The Journal of The Textile Institute 603 assessment were also accounted for in prediction models (McGregor et al, in press). While the same yarn is used for both pique and single jersey fabrics, the pique fabric is thicker, more stable to treatments and changes in CF and has a more open surface structure (Kane, Patil, & Sudhakar, 2007) (Figure 2). Accordingly, more protruding fibres sit deep in the surface of the pique fabric compared with single jersey fabrics.…”

Süprem Örme KumaĢlarda Kalınlık, Hava Geçirgenliği ve Boncuklanma Özelliklerinin Ġncelenmesi

“…Geçmişte gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar boncuklanma seviyesinin lif özellikleri (lif tipi, lif inceliği vb) [6][7][8][9][10], iplik parametreleri (iplik numarası, büküm katsayısı, tüylülük, sürtünme katsayısı, üretim yöntemi vb) [3,[11][12][13], kumaş yapısal özellikleri (üretim yöntemi, konstrüksiyon) [14,15] ve kumaşa uygulanan bitim işlemleri [16][17][18] gibi çeşitli faktörlere bağlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Kumaş oluşumundan sonra boncuklanmanın giderilmesi için yakma ve makaslama gibi mekanik işlemlerin yanı sıra çeşitli kimyasal ve biyolojik işlemler de uygulanmaktadır.…”
