Studies on the comfort properties of weft knitted fabrics made from bamboo fibre blended yarns
This paper presents the comfort properties 1 of different weft knitted structures made from 100％ bamboo and bamboo-cotton blended yarns. Bamboo fibers are well-known for their antimicrobial properties. They are now increasingly being used for knitted fabrics. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate and analyze the comfort properties of single jersey, 1×1 rib and interlock structures made from bamboo blended yarns having different counts. It has been reported 2 that yarn properties like yarn count, yarn twist and combing process of cotton affect different thermal comfort properties of 1×1 rib knitted fabrics. As the twist and yam count increase, thermal resistance values decrease and water vapour permeability values increase. Single jersey fabrics have remarkably lower thermal conductivity and thermal resistance values as well as higher relative water vapour permeability values than 1×1 rib and interlock fabrics 3.
