Full text | Abstract: The aim of this study was the determination of the effects of dyeing, knit construction and the thread yarn production type on the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of selected basic weft knitted fabrics. For this aim jersey and interlock fabrics were produced from 100% cotton ring and compact yarns. Some of the fabrics produced were dyed. The
abrasion resistance and pilling performance of raw and dyed fabrics were measured. The results obtained were classified according to the knit construction, whether the fabric was raw or dyed, and the properties of the yarn from which the fabric was produced. According to the results obtained, the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of interlock fabrics were found to be higher than those of jersey fabrics, those of dyed fabrics higher than those of raw fabrics, and those of fabrics produced from compact yarns were higher than those fabrics produced from ring yarns. |
