Abstract:

Two-fleece knitted fabrics are obtained with two different yarns as ground and backed yarns, and while the ground yarns make the loops forming the front of the fabric, the backed yarns form the back of the fabric with long floats and tuck stitches at certain points. Two-fleece and three-fleece circular knitted fabrics, also called lining braided or fleece fabric, are among the most sought-after fabrics for sports and outdoor clothing, thanks to their good thermal comfort, low air permeability and protection against cold. With this study, the ground yarn feeding amount was kept constant, and it was aimed to reveal the effects of different backed yarn ratios obtained by changing its degree of the feeder pulley on the fabric physical properties, bursting strength and dimensional properties in two-fleece knitted fabrics. The obtained results are assessed statistically by using SPSS 21 package programme. The results of the study showed that the fabric tightness, expressed by the loop density, did not change because the ground yarn feed amount was kept constant, while the fabric weight and thickness increased with the increase in the backed yarn ratio, the bursting strength partly decreased, and spirality and dimensional changes were not affected.
