Abstract

Abstract

Regenerated cellulosic fibers are obtained by
chemical processing of cellulose-based raw materials. They are similar to
cotton in terms of their structural properties, but their performance
characteristics have changed with the processes they have applied. The
principle of vortex spinning is a spinning technique that has become very
popular in recent years in terms of production speed and yarn quality. In the
study, with the production principle of regenerated cellulose fibers (viscose,
modal, bamboo, tencel) and cotton fibers were made into yarn by vortex spinning
technique. From these yarns, 18 jersey fabrics with different loop lengths
produced by circular knitting machine. In this paper, the structural properties
and drapeabilities of the obtained samples were tested and the results were
compared mathematically and statistically. Results show that the effect of raw
material is more effective parameter than the loop length on the drapeability
of plain knitted fabrics.
