    The presentation discusses different types of fabrics including woven and knitted fabrics. It focuses on circular knitted fabrics, their parameters and construction methods.

    The main types of fabrics discussed are woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. Woven fabrics are made using a warp and weft, while knitted fabrics are made through loop formation. Some common knitted fabric varieties mentioned are jersey, rib, interlock, pique and fleece.

    The main parameters considered for knitted fabrics are GSM, width, and shrinkage. Any deviation from these can lead to heavy losses. The major fabric structures discussed are single jersey, rib, and interlock, which account for 90% of knitted fabrics.

    Major Fabric Main Parameters


    Structures • GSM
    • Single Jersey • Width
    • RIB
    • Shrinkage
    • Interlock
    Any deviation in the
    All our knitted fabrics
    are 90% based on above parameters
    these 3 Kinds only lead to heavy loss
    Construction of
    Circular Knitted Fabrics
    • Our conventional method of fabric construction
    is basically Trial and Error Method which is
    time and cost consuming
    • Using Starfish Predictions from Cotton
    Technology International we can construct our
    fabrics based on calculations
    • Main aspect for fabric construction is the Fabric
    Feeling or Tightness Factor (TF)
    Fabrics Based on Feeling

    • Tight Fabric – Problems – Streks, Needle Holes,


    Holes, Colour shading, Slubs etc
    • Loose Fabric – Problems – See thru, Shrinkage,
    Spirality, Unstable, Deform etc
    • Normal Fabric – Good, optimum performance,
    proper fit, retains shape, stable, clean and
    smooth surface etc.,
    Tightness Factor
    • How to differentiate the Tight fabric,
    Loose Fabric and Normal fabric?
    • Tightness Factor is the proper
    measuring tool for the fabric feeling.
    • TF = √Tex Count ÷ LL in cms for 1 loop
    • Tex Count = 590.46/Ne Count

    • Ex. Tex Count = 590.46/30’s = 19.682


    • Ex. TF = √19.682 ÷ .29 = 15.29
    TF value for Regular Fabrics

    S.Jersey Rib 1 x 1Interlock2T Fleece

    Normal 15.5 15.5 12.5 15 Face /


    1.5 Loop
    Innerwear 14.5 14.5 12.0

    TF is inversely proportional to LL and so


    Outerwea 16.5 16.5 13.5
    if LL is more then TF=14 is Less which means the fabric is
    rmore loose if LL is less then TF=18 is more which means the
    fabric is more tight
    Using Star Fish Predictions
    • Based on the TF we need to construct our fabrics using
    the Star Fish predictions
    • Width GSM and Shrinkage is affected mainly due to Yarn
    Count and LL.
    • Diameter, Gauge, RPM, No of Needles, Feeders per Inch
    are not much important factor for cost saving.
    • If you exactly know Finishing GSM, Finishing Dia, Finishing
    Shrinkage, Exact Yarn Count, Machine Gauge and
    Machine Limitations, then the star fish predictions can
    help you select the knitting Dia.
    • Gauge is selected based on the yarn count selected
    Tex Count From Yarn

    • Lea Method – Need Length in yards


    and Weight in grams
    • Count = 64.8/Lea Weight in grams
    • 1 Lea = 120 yards
    • 80 rotations in Wrap Reel = 120 yard
    • 1 rotation in wrap reel = 1.5 yards
    • 7 lea = 1 hanks = 840 yards
    Tex Count From Fabric
    • Tex Count = (Yarn Length in Inches ÷ Weight
    in grams ) x 0.015
    Or
    • Tex Count = ( Yarn Length in cms ÷ Weight in
    grams) x 0.0059

    • Find out the LL from fabric is unraveling


    • Then do find yarn count from the above
    • Construct your fabrics
    • No of 840 yards in 1 pound = Count
    • 1 pound = 454 grams
    • 1 yard = 0.914 mtrs
    • 120 yards = 1 Lea
    • 7 Leas = 7 x 120 yds = 840 yds = 1 hanks
    • 454gms ÷ 7 Lea = 64.8 gms for 1 lea of 1’s
    • 840 yds = 1 hanks = 1 pound or 454 gms
    • 1 pound = 1 x 840 yds = 840 yds = 1’s
    • 1 pound = 2 x 840 yds = 1680 yds = 2’s
    • 1 pound = 10 x 840 yds = 8400 yds = 10’s
    • 1 pound = 20 x 840 yds = 16800 yds = 20’s

    • 2 x 2 Rib 220 gsm required


    • Selected count 30’s so gauge 18
    • LL = 27.5 cms for K.Dia = 26
    • Actual count = 27.8Ne = Tex 21.23
    • TF = 16.75
    • Result GSM=240, width=16 Shrinkage = L -1% & W-5%
    • LL can be raised to 29.5 to get lesser gsm with same count or try to get
    exact count at 28.5 then the LL @ 28.5cms.
    • Result awaited.
    Quality Customer Service
    • By doing the fabric construction in the
    scientific way we can construct a good fabric,
    with exact requirements regarding the gsm,
    width and shrinkage, by this way we can save
    a lot of time and money, which is ultimately
    resulting in the customer satisfaction.
    • Construct your fabric and take 1 mtr of fabric
    and do 3 times washing and 3 times tumble
    dry and review the resultant GSM and
    Resultant Dia. Shrinkage is Nil.
