Sažetak
Socks are knitted garments worn in direct contact with the feet, often covering the ankle and some part of the calf. They have to fulfill high requirements for functionality, comfort, durability and design. Casual socks are usually made of cotton yarns that provide softness and comfort, and are blended with polyamide or Lycra to improve fit, durability and shrink resistance. Today, in addition to cotton, various types of different fibers are used in the production of socks. Man-made artificial fibers from cellulose, such as viscose, modal and lyocell fibers are of particular interest because of their silky handle, exceptional contact comfort and better hydrophilicity than cotton, but their applicability in knitting of socks has been insufficiently researched. As the aim of this study is to investigate their applicability, in this paper the comparison of two groups of socks produced with the highest percentage of single ring spun yarns of the same linear density (made of bright staple viscose, modal, lyocell and cotton fibers) in full plating with different polyamide 6.6 yarns was carried out. Therefore, by testing the socks propensity to surface pilling, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, water vapor absorption and air permeability, all according to the standardized test methods, the evaluation of socks produced from cellulose fibers was performed and the influence of different plating yarns was observed.
