Performance of Knitted Fabrics Produced from Fancy Yarns with Different Slub/Meter and Blend Ratio

摘要

Fashion; in a broader sense of the word imply satisfaction of consumer requests, throughout the ages establishes an essential and conditional part for all textile industry. For many years fancy yarns have been vital components of modern fashion and have been providing a higher contribution margin and reputation in the clothing sector. Demand for complex fabrics with unique and distinguishable features is growing, winning greater shares of the textile market. The object of this study was to analyses the impact of slub fancy yarn parameters on the mechanical and physical properties of flat knitted fabrics. The impact of the slub yarn slub/meter and yarn blend ratio on the aforesaid properties of fabrics with fancy yarns was analyzed during the investigation. Single jersey, rib 1 x 1 and rib 3 x 1 structures were knitted with these slub yarns and results of different properties were statistically analyzed. Physical properties of knitted fabrics were measured such as fabric density, thickness value, water vapor transmission and air flow rate properties. As well, mechanical properties of produced samples were tested including friction resistance, pilling grade, bursting performance and stiffness and. It was found that the slub/meter had the most influence on all studied properties. The friction and bursting performance of the fabrics are improved through increasing the yarn slub/meter while, it decreases fabric pilling performance.
