Influence of Fabric Textures on Pilling Performance of Wool Sweaters

Abstract:

The weft knitted fabrics including plain, rib, rib and Milano with 31.25tex and 17.86tex wool yarns were taken as research objectives with a view to investigate the influence of fabric textures on pilling performance of wool sweaters. According to the GB/T4802.3-1997, the pilling performances of various samples were tested and studied. The results show that the fabric textures have great influences on pilling performance of wool sweaters. The anti-pilling performance is rib > rib > Milano >plain. The bigger the sinking depth is, the more serious the pilling phenomenon is. With larger liner density yarns, the anti-pilling performance of 1x1 ribs are better; With medium and less liner density yarns, the anti-pilling performance of 2 x 2 ribs are better.
