Jersey knits

Reverse roU, single layer coating, 1-500 000 mPa s thickness 5-400 pm accuracy + 5% speed 0.02-8 m/s shear stress 1000-100000 1/s. More precise than forward roll. Web is usually closed and OK for materials that are easily deformed. Example jersey knits, plastic films. Probably the most versatile. 

A jersey knit has vertical ribs (wales) on the face, which is the smooth side and horizontal ribs (courses) on the back, which is textured.

Tencel AlOO was launched in 1998 and has proved to be very popular and effective at extending the range of applications for Tencel fibres. It is particularly beneficial for jersey knit applications because of its excellent colouration, attractive aesthetics and good wash/wear performance. The warm touch of jersey fabrics made from AlOO complement the cooler touch of peach skin fabrics made from standard lyocell.

Novel finishes have been developed from the traditional chlorination of wool (180). One, the IWS soft-handle process, gives an extremely soft hand to the wool fibers and reduces the prickly effect when wool is worn next to the skin (181). The other, the soft-handle luster treatment, improves the luster. This improvement is most apparent in knitted wool jersey fabrics. 

Double jersey machines The elastomeric fabrics produced by double-knit machines show distinct face and back stmctures. The fabrics with double or triple layers in some end uses can also be produced by the machines. All double-knit stitches, including double jersey, pique, French pique, ottomans, twills, needle outs, and flat back rib stmctures can be produced using elastic yams. The stitches have width or both width and length stretches using lay in, knit in, or plaiting carrier systems as mentioned above for the elastic yams in bare and covered types.

The majority of acrylic fiber production is 3 5 denier staple and tow, furnished undyed in either bright or semidull luster. The major markets are in the apparel and home furnishings sectors. Within the apparel section, these fibers find extensive use in sweaters, and in singleknit jersey, double-knit, and warp-knit fabrics for a variety of knitted outerwear garments such as dresses, suits, and children s wear. Large markets for acrylics in the knit goods area are hand-knitting yarns, deep-pile fabrics, circular knit, fleece fabrics, half-hose, coarse-cut knitwear, and deep-pile fabrics for blankets. 

A series of fabric samples were knitted by using different combinations of various yams in an innovative two-layer weft-knitted jersey structure. Two basic variations of the structure were mainly used to characterise the yams. They were jersey structure and racked stmcture , which are described in detail below. The fabrics were knitted with two-ply Kevlar yam on one face and one of the other yams on the other face and vice versa. The two-ply Kevlar yam was doubled from a single Kevlar staple fibre yam, since a higher linear density Kevlar could not be sourced commercially. 

The jersey stmcture is a single piece of knitted fabric that has a genuine two-layered structure. The knitting machine that was used to produce the fabrics was an ElO gauge, fully electronic flat knitting machine (Stoll Model CMS 440). The stmcture of the jersey stmcture is illustrated in Fig. 7.22. 

The fabrics with two-ply untwisted Kevlar yam and E669 yam were knitted in two different knitted structures. The first set was a jersey fabric and the other one was with a racked structure on the face knitted with Kevlar yam. The results from this fabric in all three directions are shown in Fig. 7.32. 

Textile materials can be produced by a whole series of processes, for example, by weaving, knitting, or by fleece formation. Knitted fabrics have stronger elasticity than weaves and this was first used in the manufacture of wool jerseys and later found extensive application in what are known as double knits from polyester yarns. Fibers and filaments can also be made more elastic by a whole series of mechanical procedures such as, for example, crimping or giving a false twist to the yarn. 

Jersey j9r-ze (1587) n. (1) A circular-knit or flat-knit fabric made with a plain stitch in which the loops intermesh in only one direction. As a result, the appearance of the face and the back of a jersey fabric is wholly different. (2) A tricot fabric made with a simple stitch, characterized by excellent drape and wrinkle recovery properties. Vincenti R (ed) (1994) Elsevier s textile dictionary.

Tricot tre-(i)ko [F, fr. tricoterto knit, fr. MF, to agitate, hop ultim. fr. OF estriquier to stroke, of Gr origin akin to OF strtcan to stroke] (1872) n. A generic term for the most common type of warp-knit fabric. It has fine wales on the face and course-wise ribs on the back. It can be made in a plain jersey construction or in meshes, stripes, and many other designs. Tricot is usually made of triacetate, acetate, polyester, nylon, or rayon.

The flat knitting machine was fitted with sinkers, which controlled stitches in order to knit single-jersey tubular articles such as gloves, socks, and berets. 

In addition to the garments prepared from woven fabrics, knits (especially single jersey and interlock) are also the major products suitable for garment finishing. The garments prepared from traditional natural fibres or their blends can be suitably processed in garment form. Some specialty fabric types such as blends of wool/nylon and wool/cotton have recently been processed in garment form in order to meet specific market demands of comfort and performance.
