Abstract

A large scale knitability trial was organized to establish the effect of twist on the knitability of combed cotton yarn. The results of this trial using modern commercial machines and normal tightness factors were compared with the results of testing on a knitability tester similar to that proposed by Sasaki and Kuroda. There was no correlation between the knitting performance of the five twist levels and the results of the Sasaki and Kuroda test. The knitability results correlated with yarn irregularity and the numbers of thick and thin places as measured with the Uster Classimat.
