Abstract
Evaluation of Impact of Yarn Count and Stitch Length on Pilling, Abrasion, Shrinkage and Tightness Factor of 1 ? 1 Rib Cotton Knitted Fabrics
Highlights
The most widely used fabric forming method is knitting and its principles is divided into two major sections namely warp and weft knitting [1]
The knitted fabrics have more stretchable property compared to the woven fabrics [2,3]
Rib is a more costly and heavier structured fabric to produce than plain fabric [4]
Summary
The most widely used fabric forming method is knitting and its principles is divided into two major sections namely warp and weft knitting [1]. The knitted fabrics have more stretchable property compared to the woven fabrics [2,3]. Rib is a more costly and heavier structured fabric to produce than plain fabric [4]. The main utilization of knitted rib structures are in providing welts, cuffs, and collars for garments with plain-knitted bodies and sleeves [5]. The knitted rib structures are widely used in body lengths for outerwear. The impact of different factors such as yarn count, twist, stitch length, various processing stage such as dyeing, finishing and washing process on the dimensional and physical properties such as pilling resistance, abrasion resistance, shrinkage and tightness factor of knitted fabric have been examined by many researchers
