Effects of variable parameters on physical properties of unfinished Single Jersey Knit Fabric

Single jersey unfinished cotton weft knitted (loop formation) fabrics tend to undergo a certain dimensional changes due to changeable yarn count (Ne) and variable stitch length on physical properties such as Shrinkage, Spirality, Bursting Strength, Pilling, GSM, (Gram per square meter). This study is founded on unfinished knit cloth where yarn counts recycled remained 24Ne, 28Ne, 30Ne for S/J. Single jersey unfinished cotton fabrics were produced with different count and with stitch length where it is found that for constant count, increase of the Stitch Length the GSM is decreased & for constant stitch length, increase of the count GSM is decreased. Used for constant stitch length, increase of the count the Bursting strength is decreased. Designed for constant count, by increase of stitch length the length wise shrinkage% is decreased & the fabric length is increased. Used for constant stitch length, by increase of the count the length wise shrinkage % is decreased & the fabric length is increased. Aimed at constant count, by increase of the stitch length the width wise shrinkage% is improved & the cloth thickness is reduced. Intended for constant stitch length, by increase of the count the width wise shrinkage% is improved & the cloth width is reduced. Used aimed at constant count, by increase of the stitch length the spirality% is increased. Aimed at constant stitch length, by increase of the count the spirality % is increased
