Summary
In this study, the dimensional and physical properties of cotton/spandex single jersey fabrics are investigated and the results compared with fabrics knitted from otton alone. The loop length and amount of spandex are usted to determine the dimensions and properties of the knits. It is apparent that as the amount of spandex increases loop length values remain nearly the same and the course and wale spacing values decrease. Further more, because spandex-containing fabrics tend to tighter, the weight and thickness of the fabrics are higher but air permeability, pilling grade, and spirality are lower.
