washing cycle and fabric type on stretching (%), unrecovered elongation (%) and
elastic recovery properties of plain knitted fabrics made of different ground
yarn types having the same elastane ratio (%). For the plain knitted fabrics;
Elastane ratio was kept constant as 5% for all fabric types whereas the ground
yarns were selected as 70% polyester 30% cotton vortex yarn, 70% polyester
30%viscon ring yarn, 70% polyester 30%cotton ring yarn, 100%viscon vortex and
100% cotton ring spun yarns respectively. Knitted samples were objected to
repeated laundering and flat dried after each washing cycle. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Fabric
weight (g/m <sup>2 </sup>) after the washing cycles of 1, 5 and 10 were
premeasured. </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-gb"> Fryma fabric extensometer device was used for
determining the stretching ratios (%), unrecovered elongation (%) and elastic
recovery (%) of the samples both in wale and course way. Two-Way ANOVA was
performed in order to investigate the influence of washing cycle and fabric
type on stretching (%) and unrecovered elongation (%) properties of the
elastane knitted fabrics.  </span> <br /> </p>}, number={1}
