...Asaye Dessie Wolela Purpose This study investigates the physical and dimensional properties of single jersey knitted fabrics made from a 40% post-consumer recycled polyester (rPET) and 60% virgin cotton blend. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate how loop length and relaxation/laundering...

...Gamini Lanarolle Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop mathematical relationships to calculate the loop length to knit compact plain knitted fabrics and to validate the model using the fabric parameters of commercial fabrics. Design/methodology/approach Ellipse defines the shape...

.... Yarns produced from two varieties of cotton (100% J-34 and MCU-5) and their blends with bamboo and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) with different counts, twist and number of plies are used to prepare terry fabric of varying loop densities, loop lengths and loop shape factors. The water absorption rate...

...M. Subramanian Senthil Kannan; K.J. Rajashankar In this research work, the effect of yarn twist and loop length on spirality, geometrical and also physical properties of single jersey fabrics are reported. To carry out this work, five types of yarns are produced with 30s count with five different...
