Abstract
ABSTRACT The main focus of this study was to develop the different types of single jersey Eri silk knitted fabrics. This study also aimed to measure the effect of knitting process parameters on the dimensional, physical, and thermal comfort properties of the fabrics, which are the essential properties to be considered for active sportswear applications. Single Jersey (SJ), Single Pique (SP), and Honeycomb (HC) knitted structures were produced using Eri silk spun yarns of three different counts (25 Tex, 17.78Tex, and 14.26Tex) and two different stitch lengths. Eighteen different Eri silk single jersey fabric samples were developed. It was found that the Eri silk single knit fabrics structures had better dimensional, physical, and thermal comfort properties with reference to sport textiles. Statistical analysis indicated that the yarn linear density and stitch length significantly influenced the thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, air permeability, and water vapor permeability of the fabrics. Finally, a suitable combination of process variables was found for the production of Eri silk knitted fabric that was suitable for sportswear application
