DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

• Knitted fabric is so notorious for its tendency to change size and shape in wear and washing that to many people the phrase ‘ the dimensional stability of knitted fabrics’ will be contradiction in terms.

• The different dimensional stable states to which the knitted fabrics are imposed, and

• The loop length of yarn in the knitted loop.

SPIRALITY

• Spirality is dimensional distortion in circular plain knitted fabric.

• The lengthwise rows of stitches, called wales or needle lines, should occupy a truly vertical line in the fabric & should always be at right angles to the cross-wise course of stitches.

• This perpendicularity of wales to the courses is frequently, not the case & many times the wales may skew to the right or left forming an angle, which appears in the form of a twilled surface.

• This geometrical defect has termed spirality of knitting in circular fabrics.

• The following fig. shows the fabrics with normal loop position & with spirality having wales skewness.

THEORY OF SPIRALITY

• The above relationship shows that the angle of spirality depends on

• 1.Number of feeders of the machine

• 2.Shape of the loop in a particular state of relaxation and

• 3.Number of active needles in the machine which depends on machine gauge and diameter
