Sažetak
While tailoring a garment or a technical textile, relaxation processes of a knitted fabric after production have to be taken into account. Such dimensional changes can occur during a long time of dry relaxation, during wet relaxation, or during washing relaxation, the latter having the strongest influence on a fabric. Besides fabric construction and yarn material, the dimensions of a knitted fabric also strongly influence the relaxation process. Our paper shows a detailed analysis of the first 50 washing cycles for different fabric dimensions and yarn parameters, comparing conventional yarns and a conductive yarn used in sensory technologies. Stitch width in different location in fabric samples were considered for analyzing the relaxation behavior.
