Effect of Wale Number of Complete Repeat on Performance of Interlock Stitch Wiping Cloth
Multistage interlock stitch knitted wiping cloth with 5 kinds of complete repeat including 4,8,12,16,20 and so on were designed and developed with polyester microfiber filament yarn as raw material on the common double-sided circular knitting machine.At the same time,the basic parameters,drapability,moisture absorption and abrasion performance of the fabrics were tested and analyzed,and the influence of the wale number of complete repeat on the drapability,moisture absorption and abrasion performance of polyester microfiber knitted wiping cloth was discussed.The results show that with the increase in the wale number of complete repeat,the density of wiping cloth decreases,and the gram weight decreases as well,while the thickness increases,and there is a linear relationship between the density and the wale number of complete repeat.In addition,with the increase of complete repeat,the drape coefficient of multistage interlock stitch knitted wiping cloth decreases first and then increases,while the wicking height increases first and then decreases.The abrasion performance of multistage interlock stitch wiping cloth decreases gradually with the increase of complete repeat.
