Description 63-71
The influence of twist factors on the sensorial comfort of single jersey knitted cotton fabrics has been studied. Four
single jersey knitted fabrics have been produced from yarns with different twist factors and their compression, tensile, shear,
bending, and surface properties are measured using Kawabata Evaluation System. The findings show that the twist factors
have a significant influence on tensile, shear, bending, compression, and surface properties. The change in tensile energy
and its linearity in course direction are higher than that in the wale direction, because of the geometry and structure of
knitted fabrics. Also, it is found that the fabrics produced from higher twist yarns have higher bending stiffness, less
compressibility, lower surface friction, and less bulkiness than fabrics composed of low twist yarn.
