| Abstract: | The dimensional stability of plain weft knitted fabrics made from 2/30S and 2/40S grasi crimp and acrylic yarns has been investigated under three different conditions of relaxation, viz. dry relaxation, wet relaxation and tumble drying. It is found that in dry- and wet-relaxed states, the structure depends on the stitch length and yarn diameter. The plain weft knitted structure has been found to be a rationally determinate structure in the fully relaxed state, as in any other state the nature of the knitted loop is dependent on the physical properties of yarn, mechanical processing and knitting variables. The values of KC, KW, K, and Kl (constants of proportionality for courses/in, wales/in, stitch density and stitch length respectively) have been found to be constant, predictable and independent of yarn or machine variables in fully relaxed state. In any other fabric state, these values may vary considerably and have little commercial value. Fabric thickness has been found to be independent of loop length, but dependent on yarn diameter in fully relaxed state. |
