Evaluation of Shrinkage Behavior of Some Major Commercial Single Knit Structures Knitted with Cotton and Cotton/Polyester Blended Yarns
Journal Title: International Journal of Textile and Fashion Technology (IJTFT) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Some major single jersey structures knitted with cotton and cotton/polyester blended yarns at same knitting variables were subjected to simple wet processing and effects of structural variation, fiber blends (as on yarn) on shrinkage and areal density were observed. Results showed that polyester content in yarn results in reduced residual shrinkage and higher areal density on wet-treated fabric. For all structures, dimensional changes were negative in lengthwise and positive in widthwise, indicating greater consolidation effect during the experimental study. Tuck loop based structures showed higher areal density than all knit one. Concerning dimensional changes and performances, the experimental structures, i.e., single jersey plain, single lacoste, double lacoste and double cross tuck may be individually judged for particular application in knitted clothing.
