Sažetak
Socks are knitted next-to-skin-type garments worn on the feet, often covering the ankle and part of the calf. They should maintain their quality throughout their lifetime and must meet high wear resistance requirements, especially a higher abrasion resistance and lower propensity to surface pilling. Abrasion, which is an unavoidable problem, usually occurs on the heel, sole and toes of the socks. In the first stage of abrasion, the small pill balls get tangled due to the loose fibres that shed from the knitted surface when worn, resulting in an undesirable appearance and unpleasant hassle. Eventually, the fibres that bind the pills to the surface break down, creating holes or thinning. Since the wear resistance of socks depends on their construction and the fibres used, it is very important to choose the yarns for their manufacture. As a rule, men's casual socks are made of a high percentage of cotton to ensure softness and comfort, and are blended with polyamide and/or Lycra to improve fit, durability and shrink resistance. Therefore, this work evaluated the wear resistance of men's socks with the highest cotton content made in full plating with yarns of different composition (polyamide 6.6, Lycra/cotton, Lycra/polyamide 6.6), as well as with polyamide 6.6 yarns of different linear density, and socks made of artificial cellulose fibres (viscose, modal or lyocell) with polyamide 6.6 yarns, which are still insufficiently researched.
