The physical and mechanical properties of knitted fabric can be changed due to use of various count of yarn, type of yarn
(ring, rotor, and compact), quality of yarn, stitch length / loop length, structural geometry, fiber composition of yarn etc. This study
focused on the various stitch length effect of grey single jersey. With an increase in stitch length, the dimensional properties like CPI,
WPI, GSM, thickness & tightness factor will be decreased for all the structures; while comfort properties like air permeability & water
absorbency will be increased. Again shrinkage & spirality will be decreased with increased stitch length at grey stage. Other properties
such as bursting strength, abrasion resistance & pilling resistance improved with increased stitch length. Though all the tests for fabric
properties were carried out for grey stage, there properties can considerably vary after further finishing of the fabrics. As finishing is
mandatory for fabric production, so now-a-days, these kinds of tests are carried out after finishing stage & proper controlling is done
according to desired quality. Sometimes, controlling of some properties of finished fabrics are beyond our trial. In that case, analysis of
fabric properties at grey stage can help us to take various control & corrective actions when necessary.

Softening agents are applied to textiles to improve their hand, drape, cutting and sewing qualities. An effective softener must be readily dispersible in rinse water and rapidly absorbed so that uniform deposition on the fabric can occur within a relatively short treatment time and generally, exhaustion should take place in about 5min for the softener to be effective and economically usable. It must impart softness, fluffiness and lubricity to the treated cloth and reduce static build-up, especially in the case of hydrophobic fibers like cellulose acetate, nylon, polyester and acrylic fibers. These effects should be obtained without the loss of fabric whiteness or brightness, and then the treated fabric should retain its ability to absorb in subsequent use for drying the body (bath towels) or other surfaces. Fabric softener (also called fabric conditioner) is used to prevent static cling and make fabric softer. It is available as a liquid or as dryer sheets. Popular brand names include Downy (Lenor), Snuggle, Bounce, Comfort and Sta-Soft.I believe that, the knowledge of this report will help future carrier of every textile engineer.

Effect of Stitch Length on Different Properties of Plain Single Jersey FabricIJMERJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The works reported in this paper present the effects of stitch length on different properties of plain single jersey fabric. Fabric properties can be changed due to use of various counts of yarn, type (ring, rotor, and compact), quality, stitch length, structural geometry, fiber composition, etc. With an increase in stitch length, the properties like Courses Per Inch (CPI), Wales Per Inch (WPI), GSM and stitch density will be decreased when the remaining other parameters are constant. Again shrinkage and spirality will be increased and bursting strength decreased with the increased stitch length. Pilling and abrasion resistance show lower grading when stitch length increases.

This paper deals with the results of an investigation of various gauges of circular knitting machines with a view to producing same single jersey fabric with different parameters. All parameters including machine diameter, stitch length, yarn count, yarn lot, yarn tension etc. but gauges are used for this work is different. Even dyeing has been done at the same time on the same machine by stitching one with other, finishing parameters and processes are also same and done at same time as well to minimize the effects of other variable which can be responsible for changing the physical and mechanical properties like finished width of the fabric, finished GSM (Grams per Square Meter), shrinkage, spirality, bursting strength etc. This is done for finding only the effects which actually affects the fabric properties. Finally the findings or results are as expected with some variations with the results that are thought theoretically.
Effect of count and stitch length on spirality of single jersey knit fabriceSAT Journals
Abstract
The following paper focuses on change in spirality due to stitch length and count variation .This work was carried out with 12 samples of single jersey knit fabrics which were scoured and bleached with NaOH and H2O2 (35% strength), dyed with reactive dye (Remazol Yellow RR reactive class) and were finished as standard procedure . After finishing the samples were tested for spirality and compared between different stitch length and count. The result obtained in this research indicated that spirality increases strongly due to increase of stitch length when count of yarn is fixed and on fixed stitch length spirality increases with the increment of count.
Keywords: Spirality, Count, Stitch length.
An Investigation on Different Physical Properties of Cotton Woven Fabrics IJERA Editor
In this study, “An Investigation on Different Physical Properties of Cotton Woven Fabrics”, some sample fabrics were produced with plain, 2/2 twill, 3/1 twill and 4-end satin weave structure using four different weft counts. By means of regression, the correlation coefficient and correlation between different properties of fabrics were investigated. The findings of this study revealed that the crease recovery angle and the bending length are inversely proportional to each other. It was also found that with the increasing of weft yarn counts lead to a decreasing in stiffness, abrasion resistance and increasing in crease recovery angle. The pilling and wrinkle recovery affected very low by the increase of weft yarn count and for the variation of weave structure. Plain weave was superior to other structures in stiffness where as twill weave showed higher crease recovery.
This paper deals with the result of an investigation by using different count yarn but same
parameters of knitting machine to produce cotton-elastane single jersey fabric. Here,the all parameters of
knitting machine including gauge, dia ,Stitch length, rpm, machine tension etcare same. Dyeing process also
carried out at same parameter for all fabrics. Finishing process like Heat setting, Stentering, compacting are
done in same condition But we use different count cotton yarn. In this paper, we mainly deal with the physical
properties of single jersey cotton fabric. we try to identify how the properties of single jersey knitted fabric like
fabric diameter(gray& finished condition) ,WPI&CPI(gray& finished condition),Fabric GSM(gray& finished
condition),Shrinkage (%) length &width wise, spiralityare changing with Count .Finally the findings are as
expected with some variation with the result that are thought theoretically.
Investigation on the Changes of Areal Density of Knit Fabric with Stitch Leng...iosrjce
Stitch length and GSM (gram per square meter) are the two major parameters for making a knit
fabric. The relationship between stitch length (S.L) and GSM is inversely proportional if the other parameter
remain constant. Again the presence of tuck loop in knit fabric structure make the fabric heavier than the plain
single jersey fabric having all knit loop because of the accumulation of yarn in the tucking place. In this study,
an experimental work was offered to understand the influence of different stitch length on the GSM of knit fabric
with respect to the change of tuck loop percentage in the knit fabric structure. Here three fabric (single jersey,
single lacoste and polo pique) having different tuck loops percentage with five different stitch lengths were
selected where the other parameters were constant. With the increment of tuck loop percentage and descending
of stitch length, a measurable increase in areal density was observed, where the GSM increment percentage was
maximum at 2.70 mm stitch length for every tuck loop percentage. After that the gradual reduction of stitch
length resulted in the lower rate of GSM increment.

Effect of Machine Parameters on Knit Fabric Specifications
Cotton knit fabrics of yarn count 16Ne, 20Ne, 26Ne, 30Ne, 40Ne and 120-200 GSM for plain, 165-280 GSM for rib, 205-250 GSM for interlock were investigated with different machine parameters. The investigation developed a way so that it can be visualized or can forecast the resulting fabric specification with required configuration. The research emphasized on the adjustable points on which fabric GSM, stitch length, fabric width, and compactness directly or indirectly depends. It can be approached that the yarn count increases with the machine gauge. At different ranges of GSM the variation of the finished fabric diameter with the machine diameter is different. From a constant, VDQ number can be obtained for a particular stitch length and fabric design. Key Words: GSM, Stitch length, Yarn count, Fabric Width, Machine gauge, Needle.

The paper deals with the fabrication and flexural property studies of 3D Spacer fabrics with
three different stiffener height, i.e., 5mm, 10mm and 15mm. The specimens were fabricated over two
bidirectional woven fabric surfaces of glass fiber reinforced composite face sheet which were
mechanically connected with vertical threads. An innovative stitching technique was used. The flexural
strength and deflection of fabricated specimens were determined through three point bending test (ASTM
C 393-62). A significant increase in flexural rigidity was observed when it compared with other panels,
and found it is highest for 3D Spacer fabric with stiffener height 3415mm. Also, the results proved that
flexural strength of 3D Spacer fabric increases with respect to the height of the stiffener. Also the results
were compared with simply glued sandwich composite of thickness 15mm and found a significant
improvement in flexural strength of 3D spacer fabric composite compared to glued composite.

A new technology based on nano bubbles developed and patented by a Spanish company, Jeanologia, is known as e-flow. The e-flow ‘breaks up’ the surface of the garment, achieving soft hand feel and controlling shrinkage. A minimal quantity of water is needed and there is zero discharge from the process. Air from the atmosphere is introduced into an electro flow reactor and subjected to an electromechanical shock creating nano bubbles and a flow of wet air. The nano bubble mix is then transported into a rotating tumbler containing the denim garments, and when it comes into contact with them produces a soft and natural hand feel. The garments are then dried in the same tumbler. When treating indigo dyed garments with this technology, some indigo cross contamination may occur that can be eliminated by a dry ozone treatment.
In this modern world, fashion & styles are changing frequently. The emergence of fast changes in fashion has given rise to shorten production cycle time in the garment industry. To meet the dynamic customer demands of momentous quantities in shorten lead time, assembly line production systems are used, where the garment components are assembled into a finished garment through a sub-assembly process. So in the era of product customization, the optimal usage of resources especially the available facilities & operators who are adding the value of product is important. Therefore the assembly line has to be planned in much more flexible way. This paper deals with the maximum utilization of manpower in labor intensive assembly lines. The objective is to accurately delegate workers to the various operations required to complete the product based on their skill & experience so as to achieve the highest level of productivity and delivery as per planned target.

Environmental sustainability is the major concern in the age of modern world. For textile and apparel sector, this has been a burning issue for many related concerned bodies. The pretreatment and dyeing process of greige fabrics results in large volume of effluents that has harmful effect on environment. In this study, the ecological parameters of the effluents obtained from scouring and dyeing of 100% organic cotton single jersey knitted fabrics with environmentally low impact Remazol series reactive dyes adopting exhaust dyeing method was investigated. The effluents collected for investigating the ecological parameters include chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO) and alkalinity. The results show that the use of the low impact reactive dyes has greater ecological advantages as it reduces the COD, BOD, TDS, TSS, pH values and increases the DO values of effluents. Organic cotton itself being eco-friendly along with Remazol series sustainable dyes provides the better ecological results. Hence, the results indicated that wet processing of organic cotton knitted fabric with eco-friendly and low impact reactive dyes provide better ecological advantages.

Garments washing is one of the most important finishing treatments applied on apparels which have vital use to create special outlooks and improving the fashion. Technologically washing is one of the most important fashion elements for clothing industry and production of washed garments depends on the machine quality. In order to achieve an optimum effect of washing process, on the woven fabric in different washing time, Enzyme Wash and then Silicone wash were carried out for cotton fabric. However, there are some of the comments that when the garments have longer washing time, use of the chemical on the washing procedure will affect the physical and mechanical performance. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of industrial enzyme silicone wash combined with silicone wash. For this study currently fashionable regular Non- denim (100% cotton with twill 3/1 weave construction) trouser was chosen. The selected Non-denim trouser has been processed by enzyme and then silicone wash. In order to evaluate the washing effects on Non-denim trouser, changes of fabric handle, fabric specification (ends/inch, picks/inch, surface density, warp & weft yarn linear density), fabric strength has been determined during and after washing
The use of enzymes in the textile chemical processing is rapidly gaining globally recognition because
of their non-toxic and eco-friendly characteristics with the increasingly important requirements for textile
manufactures to reduce pollution in textile production. Furthermore, the use of enzymes results in reduced
process times, energy and water savings, improved product quality and potential process integration. Variation
of knit fabric and enzyme concentration is taken to do this project. The aim is to know the effect of enzyme
concentration on the physical properties of knit garments of various constructions. In this project 0.4 g/l and 0.5
g/l enzyme concentration is taken to wash Single Jersey and Rib fabric. Then to see the effect of enzyme
concentration on the physical properties of Single Jersey and Rib fabric some tests like GSM, Bursting strength,
Dimensional Stability and Pilling are done. The results of before and after enzyme wash is compared to know
the effect of concentration of enzyme on the physical properties of Single Jersey and Rib fabric. After enzyme
wash GSM of the fabric increases, Dimensional Stability and Bursting strength decreases and pilling formation
on the fabric surface also decreases.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a white, water insoluble pigment. It is used in paints, plastics, foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Its main application on textile materials as an ultraviolet ray protecting agents. Titanium dioxide can reflect, scatter or absorb ultraviolet ray. Besides Titanium dioxide also modify the properties of fabrics. In previous research, titanium dioxide was applied mainly by padding mangle method. This paper presents an approach to observe the effect of titanium dioxide treatment 100% cotton knitted (plain jersey) fabric applied by exhaustion method followed by curing and washing. The treated fabrics were then analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the tensile strength, pH value and absorbency of the treated and untreated fabrics were checked. It is found that titanium dioxide impairs the better hand feel and absorbency (wetting time) of all treated fabrics increased gradually than untreated fabrics. The treatment increases the strength and keeps the pH of the fabric in acidic medium.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Abstract: The physical and mechanical properties of knitted fabric can be changed due to use of various count of yarn, type of yarn
(ring, rotor, and compact), quality of yarn, stitch length / loop length, structural geometry, fiber composition of yarn etc. This study
focused on the various stitch length effect of grey single jersey. With an increase in stitch length, the dimensional properties like CPI,
WPI, GSM, thickness & tightness factor will be decreased for all the structures; while comfort properties like air permeability & water
absorbency will be increased. Again shrinkage & spirality will be decreased with increased stitch length at grey stage. Other properties
such as bursting strength, abrasion resistance & pilling resistance improved with increased stitch length. Though all the tests for fabric
properties were carried out for grey stage, there properties can considerably vary after further finishing of the fabrics. As finishing is
mandatory for fabric production, so now-a-days, these kinds of tests are carried out after finishing stage & proper controlling is done
according to desired quality. Sometimes, controlling of some properties of finished fabrics are beyond our trial. In that case, analysis of
fabric properties at grey stage can help us to take various control & corrective actions when necessary.

1. Introduction
Knitting is a method by which thread or yarn is turned into
cloth or other fine crafts. Knitted fabric consists of
consecutive rows of loops, called stitches. As each row
progresses, a new loop is pulled through an existing loop.
The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop
can be passed through them. This process eventually results
in a final product, often a garment. [1]
Knitted loop is a kink of yarn that is intermeshed at its base
i.e. when intermeshed two kink of yarn is called a knitted
loop. A knitted loop is a basic part of knitted fabric. [2]
Technically a knitted loop consists of a needle loop & a
sinker loop. The length of yarn knitted into one stitch in a
weft knitted fabric. Stitch length is theoretically a single
length of yarn which includes one needle loop & half the
length if yarn (half a sinker loop) between that needle loop &
the adjacent needle loops on either side of it. Generally
larger the stitch length more elastic & lighter the fabric &
poorer its cover opacity & bursting strength. Generally stitch
length is expressed in mm (millimeter). In the fabrics, loop
lengths combine in the form of course lengths & it is there
that influences fabric dimensions & other properties like
weight, density, shrinkage, spirality etc. Variations in course
length between one garment & another can produce
horizontal bareness & impair the appearance of the fabric. In
the modern knitting machine, it needs to maintain a constant
loop length at one feed & another on same machine is
mandatory for continuing the constant loop length. Although
a machine may be set to knit a specific stitch length,
fluctuations in yarn or machine variable can affect yarn
surface friction or yarn tension at the knitting point. As a
result, the ratio of ‘robbed back’ to newly-drown yarn
changes & alters the size of the knitted loop. [3]
Effect of stitch length on knit fabric structure plays a vital
role on its properties. What kind of properties of single
jersey knit structure will be regulated by various stitch length
is the measurement of our research.

knitting machine (Mayer & Cie, Germany) was used. Gauge
and No. of feeder were 28E and 96 respectively.
2.2 Methods
Yarn from the same lot are placed in the creels carefully for
knitting. After knitting the samples were dried in relaxed
condition & then processed that includes conditioning of the
fabrics at 65% relative humidity & 30°C ± 2°C. After
relaxation, the following tests were carried out at 27°C± 2°C
& 65% RH.
2.2.1 Stitch Length determination
By the help of HATRA coarse length tester, coarse length of
different produced fabrics is measured. Coarse length = π ×
diameter of the machine × Gauge × Stitch length. So, Stitch
Length = (coarse length)/ (π × diameter of the machine ×
Gauge). [4]
2.2.2 Determination of WPI, CPI, Stitch density and
loop
Shape factor
With the help of counting glass we measured WPI & CPI of
various stitch length. We calculate stitch density & loop
shape factor. [5]
Stitch density = WPI × CPI
Loop shape factor = CPI/WPI

2.2.3 Determination of Fabric Weight (GSM)
After relaxation & conditioning of knit fabric samples, GSM
of samples were tested by taking test samples with the help
of GSM cutter & weighting balance (electronic). [6]
2.2.4 Determination of Fabric Thickness
After relaxation & conditioning the tubular fabric was turned
into open width form by slitting along the slit line measuring
tape, the width of the fabric is measured for different stitch
length containing samples. [7]
2.2.5 Determination of spirality
First cut a sample of (50cm×50cm) with the scissor. Then by
the over lock sewing m/c the 4 ends of the cut fabric were
sewn. After sewing, again by a scale mark (25cm×35cm) on
the fabric & then sample washed with a standard soap
solution (1g/l). After washing the sample was tumble dried at
65°C± 15°C for 60 minutes. Then after cooling the sample
tested with the shrinkage tester scale also the spirality was
tested. Shrinkage was tested length wise & width wise along
the mark of (35cm×35cm). And spirality was tested along
sewing line alignment. (Distortion of the formation of
Loops) [8]
2.2.6 Determination of bursting strength
Bursting strength of samples was measured by an automatic
bursting strength tester. Samples are gradually set on the
diaphragm, the automatic bursting strength tester, measures
time, distortion, pressure & the flow rate to burst the fabric.
For different samples we recovered there parameters. [9]
2.2.7 Determination of Abrasion resistance
The abrasion properly was tested with the help of Martindale
abrasion tester. Each specimen of 38mm diameter are cut
from the specimen holders with a circle of standard from
behind the fabric being tested. The test specimen holders are
mounted on the machine with the fabric under test next to
the abrading and a pressure of 12 Kpa is applied through a
spindle which is inserted through the top plate. After that a
revaluation of 10000 cycles is operated & finally the samples
are assumed. [10]
2.2.8 Determination of pilling resistance
For this test, each specimen is prepared at (125mm×125mm)
and cut from the fabric. A seam allowance of 12mm is
marked on the back of each square. The samples are then
folded face to face & a seam is sewn on the marked line.
Each specimen is turned inside out & 6mm cut off each end
of it thus removing any sewing distortion. The fabric tabs
made are then mounted on rubber tubes. So that the length of
table showing at each end is the same. Each of the loose end
is taped with PVC tape so that 6mm of the rubber tube is left
exposed. All the specimens are then placed in 3 pilling
boxes. All the specimens are then placed in 3 pilling boxes.
The samples are then tumbled together in a cork – lined box.
We used 8000 cycles of revaluations for the test. [11]
After relaxation & conditioning the tubular fabric was turned
into open width form by slitting along the slit line measuring
tape, the width of the fabric is measured for different stitch
length containing samples. [12]
3. Result and discussion
3.1 Effect on WPI, CPI, Stitch density and loop shape
factor
When stitch length increased, the WPI, CPI, stitch density,
loop shape factor, decreased correspondingly. Table 1 for
different stitch length in single jersey fabric represents the
change of WPI, CPI, stitch density & loop shape.

3.2 Effect on Fabric Weight (GSM)
GSM depends on knit structure, yarn count & dimensional
properties of knit fabrics. When fabrics density is more,
fabrics weight is also more. From the figure 1 it is found
that, fabric GSM decreases with the increased stitch. GSM
can also vary for some yarn characteristics used in the
formation of fabric.

Fabric thickness depends on loop shape, compactness of
structure & relative closeness of the loops.

Figure 2: Change of Fabric Thickness with stitch length
From the figure 2 it is found that, fabric thickness decreases
with the increased stitch length. Thickness can also vary for
high yarn diameter, low yarn twist, less lateral compression
force etc.
3.4 Effect on Fabric Width (Open Width)
Fabric width depends upon the bending property of loops,
type of loops employed, yarn count, cylinder diameter etc.
Figure 3: Change of width with stitch length
From the figure 3 can see that with the increasing value of
stitch length, fabric width is decreased. This is due to when
stitch length increases the loop is less bent than the tension
impose upon it. As a result after relaxation, the loops go to
their flexible bent position without altering stitch length.

3.5 Change in Bursting Strength
From the figure 4 we can see that if the stitch length
increases, bursting strength is decreased. This is due to the
fact that, when stich length is less, no. of loops per square
inch is more. Therefore, the resistance towards the force is
more in case of less stitch length of fabric
Figure 4: Effect of stitch length on bursting strength
3.6 Change in Abrasion Resistance
The abrasive wear of a material depends on the construction
of the yarn & the structure of the fabric. It was established
that abrasion was less for higher density fabrics. This was
because of the fact, when the density was more, more loops
contributed to the wear & so its abrasion resistance
increased.

Figure 5: Effect of stitch length on abrasion resistance
From figure 5 it is seen that, Single jersey fabric showed
higher abrasion loss% due to its soft nature on the surface.
3.7 Effect on Pilling Resistance

7 3.05 1
From table 2, it is seen that, as the stich length increased, the
polling grade values decreased from higher to lower grade.
Again, it has been seen that, pilling resistance is very low.
3.8 Effect on Shrinkage
Shrinkage is an inherent property of knit fabrics which can’t
be prohibited, but for better quality, it must be controlled in a
systematic way. After tumble drying & cooling of the fabric,
shrinkage of this samples are measured both lengthwise &
widthwise.

Figure 6: Effect of stitch length on Shrinkage
From figure 6 we can see that with the increase of stitch
length, widthwise shrinkage is decreasing while lengthwise
shrinkage is increasing. As the results are found in grey
stage. So results are not compatible with the finished fabric.
Because, after treatment shrinkage properties can remarkably
be changed.

3.9 Change in Spirality
Spirality is the distortion of the place of loops where they
formed. This is tested along with shrinkage test. It is also an
inherent dimensional properties of knit fabrics, which is
mostly found in single jersey fabrics. From figure 7 it is
obvious that with the increase in stitch length, spirality is
decreasing.
Figure 7: Effect of stitch length on spirality
4. Conclusion
Stitch/Loop length is the fundamental unit which controls all
the properties of weft knitted fabrics. Mainly stitch length &
knit structure affects all the dimensional, comfort, handle &
other properties. We only worked on single jersey, but stitch
length also plays a great roll on other structures also. From
the analysis, we can get idea about grey stage of knit fabrics
, that source will show better performance for the summer
inner wear & some for winter outwear . It can be decided
that very low stitch length is not also good. For a uniform
comfort, handle & tensile properties in the fabric moderate
stitch length should be maintained, which in the long run
also depends upon the quality, cost & profit of the industry.
