PROPERTIES OF KNITTED FABRICS PRODUCED WITH VORTEX SPINNING PRINCIPLE OF REGENERATED CELLULOSE FIBERS

Abstract Regenerated cellulosic fibers are obtained by chemical processing of cellulose-based raw materials. They are similar to cotton in terms of their structural properties, but their performance characteristics have changed with the processes they have applied. The principle of vortex spinning is a spinning technique that has become very popular in recent years in terms of production speed and yarn quality. In the study, with the production principle of regenerated cellulose fibers (viscose, modal, bamboo, tencel) and cotton fibers were made into yarn by vortex spinning technique. From these yarns, 18 jersey fabrics with different loop lengths produced by circular knitting machine. In this paper, the structural properties and drapeabilities of the obtained samples were tested and the results were compared mathematically and statistically. Results show that the effect of raw material is more effective parameter than the loop length on the drapeability of plain knitted fabrics.
