Evaluation of usage quality of weft knitted fabrics made of viscose fibres

Knitwear that are worn in direct contact with the skin, are often made of man-made artificial fibres from cellulose. In this paper four different circular weft double jersey knitted fabrics made of standard single viscose ring spun yarn, viscose rotor and air-jet spun yarns, and SiroSpun® ring two-play yarn of the same linear density were used. The usage quality of raw and finished knitted fabrics were evaluated and their applicability assessed. Along with the basic characterization of yarns, testing of mass per unit area, thickness and number of wales and courses per unit length of knitted fabrics were carried out. Knitwear usage quality were evaluated by determination of breaking strength and elongation, dimensional change and spirality after laundering, permeability of fabrics to air, their propensity to surface pilling and abrasion resistance, all according to the standardized test methods.
