Description 91-95
This study has been aimed to develop three different knitted
denim fabrics (3/1 twill) using cotton (30s) and eri silk (2/80 Nm)
yarns in different proportions (100% cotton, 50/50 cotton/eri silk,
100% eri silk). Dimensional, physical and thermal comfort
properties have been analysed for the developed samples. Thermal
properties of the fabric are analysed using a flat plate thermal
conductivity tester, and the wicking ability is measured with a
vertical wicking tester. Eri silk knitted denim fabric is found with
the excellent dimensional, physical and thermal comfort
properties better than that of cotton and 50/50 cotton/eri silk
blended knitted denim fabrics. The results indicate that the eri silk
knitted denim fabric is more suitable for functional wear
applications.
