EFFECT OF CHANGE IN YARN COUNT & CYLINDER STITCH LENGTH ON WAFFLE KNIT FABRIC GSM (Pages : 11 - 16)
M.R. CHOWDHURYKnitwear industry keeps great contribution in the Bangladesh socio-economic development. The sector is producing top quality knit garments for global fast fashion brands. But most of the goods produce by this single jersey derivatives fabric such a plain, single lacoste, double lacoste, polo pique etc. Now a day’s development of various rib derivatives such as waffle fabric creates a new era for knit fabric manufacturing. The present study attempts to disclose the effect of yarn count and stitch length on waffle fabric Arial density. Three different yarn counts i.e. 26/1Ne, 30/1 Ne and 40/1 Ne used for producing miss waffle knit fabric. The waffle samples produced with fixed dial Stitch length i.e. 1.95 mm and various cylinder stitch length (for 26/1 Ne waffle fabric) i.e. 3.90 mm. 3.95 mm, 4.00 mm and (for 30/1 Ne waffle fabric) cylinder stitch length were 3.80 mm, 3.85 mm, 4.00 mm, and finally (for 40/1 Ne waffle fabric) cylinder stitch length were 3.65 mm, 3.70 mm, 3.75 mm. All waffle samples tested separately for GSM. Then effects of yarn count and stitch length on waffle knit fabric GSM is observed.Download
