An investigation about bursting strength and pilling performance of knitted fabrics made from ring and compact yarns

Abstract

In this paper, bursting strengths and pilling tendencies of a series of single jersey fabrics made from both 100 % combed cotton ring and compact yarns are investigated. According to results, structural differences between ring and compact spun yarns play significant role on fabric properties. As a result, it was seen that fabrics knitted from compact yarns have higher bursting strength and lower pilling tendency than fabrics knitted from ring spun yarns.
