Flax Knitting The Knitted Fabric Knitting And Performance

With the improvement of people's living standard and rapid development of science and technology, people have put forward higher request for the textile. Comfort and hygiene of the dress have already become people's primary pursuit. Under this trend, the flax fabrics famous for 'fiber emperor' are greatly favored by people and the knitted fabrics are still more. The flax fabrics are usually used in summer. We know flax is coarse, hard and low stretch, so it is difficult to knit in knitting machines. In order to meet people's demands for top-grade flax knitted fabrics,the emphasis of our research is to dispel scratchiness of flax fabric and improve flax fabric's hand feeling, softness and elasticity.The flax's configuration and component, we know flax is coarse, hard and low stretch, so it is difficult to knit. The pretreatment of flax yarns is essential before knitting so as to improve flax's knit-ability and it is also a foundation of top-grade flax knitted fabrics. In knitting, yarns tension was strictly controlled to make loop length even and consistent in order that high quality flax blanks were successfully knitted. After the finishing of the flax knitting fabrics is finished, its prickle sense is one important index to evaluate and measure the fabric's quality; but the prickle evaluation by means of the fussing mathematics is first introduced. It can avoid subjective influences and gain the index about the prickle sense by some important physics properties which are mainly influenced the prickle sense of the fabrics, and also gain the importance of each parameter so that to get the optimum finishing process, which is based on the prickle sense and the properties of the flax knitting fabrics both.The flax knitted fabrics produced by the technology above-mentioned have excellent knit-ability. The hand feeling, drape, softness and elasticity of the fabrics were greatly improved. The fabrics' appearance was glabrous, firm but elegant. In a word, the research has achieved the anticipated purpose.
