Investigation on Geometric and Dimensional Properties of Cotton Sheath Elastomeric Core Spun Yarn Single Jersey and Popcorn Jersey Fabric Structures by C Prakash in LTTFD-Lupine Publishers.
The prime purpose of this research work is to study the feasibility and the ease of knitting of cotton sheath - elastomeric core spun hosiery yarn into different fabric structures with the help of a modern multi cam track high speed circular weft knitting machine and comparing their geometric and dimensional properties. By keeping these objectives in mind, cotton sheath - elastomeric core hosiery yarn was spun. The produced spun yarn was knitted into two different fabric structures namely single jersey and popcorn jersey with identical machine parameters. Among these two fabric samples, the former one is a structure knitted with full of knit stitches and the latter one is the derivative structure of the former one and made up of the combination of knit and tucks stitches. Both these structures were subjected to their dry, wet and fully relaxed states and then their geometric properties were studied to understand the changes after each relaxation state and the potential of these structures to attain their dimensional equilibrium state was observed through repeated cycle of washing and drying. The comparison is pretty useful to understand the influence of tuck stitch into the geometric and dimensional characteristics of the popcorn fabric sample developed-Lupine Publishers.
