Aspect prediction of the knitted fabrics from the yarn properties

Abstract

The textile technologist knows that the prediction of the aspect of a finished knitted fabric, by the parameters of yarn evenness, does not agree, often, with the reality. There are fabrics, in the market, with irregular aspect, made with yarns in which we have detected few faults. The conventional criteria that are considered in the evenness measuring equipments for the faults detection in the yarns are very limited.In this paper a new evenness of mass index is proposed, denominated deviation rate DR, that, according to it is demonstrated in the experimental stage, it follows an excellent statistical correlation with the aspect of the knitted fabrics.
