  Effect of Loop Length in Different Stitches on Dimensional and Mechanical Property of Single Jersey Knitted Fabrics
  Author(s): Alemayehu Assefa*
  
  Single jersey knitted fabrics are generally used to make underwear and outerwear. To investigate the impact of loop length and stitches design on the dimensional and mechanical properties of single jersey knitted fabrics, which are develop high-performance knitted goods has been expanded by changing the loop length and the type stiches design. To analysis the effect of loop length and stitches type on dimensional and mechanical property, 12 sample knitted fabrics by varying loop length such as 2.5mm,2.7mm,2.9mm and 3.0mm were produced by circular knitting machine. These sample fabrics were produced from 100% cotton 30Ne ring spun yarn by varying loop length and stitch design. The specimens used for sampling were determined like: CPI, WPI, GSM thickness, stiches density, breaking force and extensibility properties by using ASTM standards for each test fabric sample. As observed in the .. Read More»
