EFFECT OF TM AND LOOP LENGTH ON DRAPE CO-EFFICIENT OF SINGLE JERSEY KNITTED FABRICS

These are the days twist plays vitalrole in the hosiery yarn. The end applications of the knitted fabric are mainlydepend upon the TM of Yarn. In this Research work cotton yarn and polyestercotton Blended (65%+35+) yarn used spun with same count of 30 Ne produced onRing and compact spinning machines. Three TM levees are selected 3.32, 3.66,3.94, to produce yarn on both spinning system. Three different loop lengths like, 0.27,0.30 and 0.33 are selected produce single jersey plain knitted fabrics. Gamutof properties are studied with respect to geometrical and drape co-efficient offabrics. The samples are washed for five cycles.
