Cotton Knitted Fabrics

Abstract

Knitting is one of the fabric manufacturing techniques in which yarn is converted into loops and loops are intermeshed to form fabric. The knitted fabrics are quite different from woven fabrics in which yarn lie in straight line resulting in rigid structure and less elongation. Cotton knitted fabric is used as raw material for the manufacture of undergarments and knitwears. Generally, hosiery yarn of count 20s-40s is being used for the manufacture of knitted fabric.
