STUDY ON COLOR FASTNESS TO WASH & RUBBING, WHITENESS INDEX AND COLOR EFFICIENCY (K/S VALUE) OF WEFT KNITTED FABRICS MADE FROM CONVENTIONAL RING AND COMPACT SPUN YARN (Pages : 1 - 10)

The new compact spinning system appears to eliminate the spinning triangle problem in the ring spinning process. It is claimed to bring many advantages of yarn quality. In this research work cotton yarns, produced from same cotton blend were spun according to compact and conventional ring spinning principles in three different counts. Three different knitting structures single jersey, rib and interlock were produced from these yarns. The physical properties such as Color fastness to wash and rubbing, whiteness index and K/S value of those fabrics were investigated and compared with each other after bleaching and dyeing processes. When the results were studied, it was observed that better color fastness to wash and rubbing was found in all knitted fabrics made from compact yarn. Compact yarn based knitted fabrics.Download
