ANALYSIS THE EFFECTS OF CHANGE IN YARN COUNT AND STITCH LENGTH ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF WAFFLE KNIT FABRIC (Pages : 32 - 40)
M.R. CHOWDHURYFor appropriate fabric production physical properties is an important parameter. Now a day’s waffle knitted fabric is widely used for several end uses. The present research attempts to find the effect of yarn count and stitch length on waffle fabric physical properties. Three different yarn counts i.e. 26/1Ne, 30/1 Ne and 40/1 Ne used for producing miss waffle knit fabric. The 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 selected 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. and then different physical properties such as pilling, rubbing fastness, bursting , color fastness measured in terms of change in yarn count & stitch length of waffle knit.Download
