Abstract

Using the combed cotton spinning route, a number of yarns from Egyptian cotton Giza 75 FG with counts of 14.3, 16.7, 20.0 and 25.0 tex were spun. Each of the yarns were spun with a higher twist factor and different noil percentage of 14, 16, 18 and 20%. The yarns are being used to knit two groups of plain single jersey fabrics on a small diameter single bed circular knitting machine with two different yarn tensions at the knitting zone. The first group of samples was knitted with a usual yarn tension used in making knitted fabrics underwear (0.15 cN/tex), while the other group of sample was knitted with a higher tension (0.40 cN/tex). The measurements are statistically analyzed and tested.
