Abstract

Aim of this study is to investigate the dimensional characteristics of the weft knitted fabrics with Bamboo knitted yarn. This Bamboo knitted yarn was made of the biodegradability fiber. The structure of weft knitted fabrics that was utilized for this study is the plain stitch, which is the most basic structure among all weft knitted fabrics. The loop density, courses density, and wales density are more increased as the loop length is shorter. The loop density increased as pre-treatment process and dyeing process progressed after dry treatment process, and on the contrary, the heat setting process made it decreasing. After the dyeing process proceed, the loop density and the course density were displayed the highest values. When the knitted fabrics were fully relaxed, the loop density was $2000/in^2$, the courses density was 52/in, the wales density was 39/in.
