Introduction: In textile industry, a lot of faults observed in knit fabric from its manufacturing process to dyeing finishing which are totally unexpected. These types of faults decrease the total quality of the knit fabric which ultimately creates a significant impact on the profit percentage. So, a Knitwear Technologist should have sufficient idea about all the knit fabric faults which are mentioned in Below with correct images.

Introduction:In textile industry, a lot of faults observed in knit fabric from its manufacturing process to dyeing finishing which are totally unexpected. These types of faults decrease the total quality of the knit fabric which ultimately creates a significant impact on the profit percentage. So, a Knitwear Technologist should have sufficient idea about all the knit fabric faults which are mentioned in Below with correct images.

Defects in Knitted Fabric:Faults in knit fabric can be produced at the three stages from its manufacturing to dyeing and finishing. Here we Discuss About Knitting Basic Defect’s. All the Defect with Appropriate Picture Are Given below:

Drop Stitch: Are Occurs for Following Causes Normally- Brush Quality  Yarn Quality Dry Yarn Feeder Position Feeder Tip Take Down Latch Bends Miss Selection

Yarn Broken: Quality of Yarn Side Tension Hook Problem

Needle Marks:

Knock over bits broken.  Bad Needle

Oil Marks:

From Machine oil From rust, mud and ink etc. 

Fabric Press Off:

End breakage on feeders, with all needles knitting.

Yarn feeder remaining in lifted up position, due to which, the yarn doesn’t get fed in the hooks of the needles.

Sinker not cleans. Defected /broken sinker. When darts deposited in sinker, it is raised & causes this fault.

Lycra out:

Fail to catch the Lycra yarn by needle.

Low tension of Lycra yarn.

Lycra yarn breakage.

Faulty auto stop motion.

Barriness:

Definition:

Barriness defect appears in the Knitted fabric, in the form of horizontal stripes of uniform or variable width.

Causes: There are three different reason for this Defect.

Page 6: Knit and sewing defects

Raw material/fiber:

Failure to control fiber diameter (micronaire or denier) from lay down to lay down.

Too high a C.V. of micronaire in the lay down for a given mill's opening line blending efficiency.

Failure to control the fiber color in the mix (grayness Rd, yellowness +b).

Yarn formation /supply:

Poor blending of fiber in opening through finisher drawing. 

Mixing yarns of different counts.

Mixing yarns from different spinning systems.

Mixing yarns with different twist level/twist direction.

Mixing yarns with different degrees of hairiness.

Mixing yarns with different amounts of wax.

Excessive back winding or abrasion during this process.

Knitting machine:

Improper stitch length at a feed.

Improper tension at a feed.

Variation in fabric take-up from loose to tight.

Excessive lint build-up.

Variation in oil content.

Worn needles, which generally produce length direction streaks. 

Uneven cylinder height needles (wavy barre). 

Double feed end.

Remedies:

Ensure uniform Yarn Tension on all the feeders.

The average Count variation in the lot, should not be more than + 0.3

Ensure that the yarn being used for Knitting is of the same Lot / Merge no.

Ensure that the hardness of, all the yarn packages, is uniform, using a hardness tester. 

Pin Holes:

Improper tension. 

Same drive for both knit & tuck stitch. 

Curved needle latch.

Remedies:

Different drive have to maintained Needle has to change.

Needle has no change.

Conclusion:Detection of faults during production of knitted fabric is crucial for improved quality and productivity.

This presentation will present and discuss the detection of faults and malfunctions during the production remedies of knitted fabric.

We believe that our work will help the knitters to identify the source of detected faults & proposes specific solutions for theses faults causes. So Knitters can take necessary remedial steps to overcome the faults.
