Analysis of blend influence on parameters of weft knitted fabrics

摘要

Blend influence on dimensional properties of weft knitted fabrics in different ratios were studied. The P/C blended yarn in the proportions 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, 80:20 and 100:0 was produced by OE spinning system and blended knitted fabric was produced to study the dimensional properties. The study revealed that blending of cotton with polyester in different ratios was found to improve certain properties of cotton as well as polyester yarn. The dimensional properties- Loop length, bulk and area shrinkage decreased significantly where as stitch density and tightness factor increased significantly with the increased proportion of polyester in the blend.
