10—THE DIMENSIONAL PROPERTIES OF SOME WOOL DOUBLE-JERSEY STRUCTURES IN RELAXATION AND LAUNDERING

摘要: The dimensional behaviour of five non-jacquard wool double-jersey structures is investigated, both in relaxation (involving tumble-drying from the wet state) and extensive laundering (Cubex washing followed by tumble-drying). Tumble-drying for 1 hr wet-fabric condition only approximates to completely relaxed state. Some felting untreated fabrics occurs, but effect on very small. Adequately shrink-resist-treated cannot be considered even after two consecutive cycles 1-hr duration. However, general, this technique allows sufficient fabric subsequent changes over treated compatible with domestic machine-washable tolerances. rates knitted ‘fully relaxed’ are dependent cover factor independent structure. Under no circumstances, however, can u...
