Increasing flax ratio in knitted fabrics can negatively impact performance, with 20% flax ratio being the optimal blend.
Researchers created knitted fabrics with varying flax/recycled polyester/polyester blends. They tested the fabrics' physical and comfort properties, finding that flax-containing yarns were not suitable for rib quality and that the best performance was achieved with 20% flax ratio.
Abstract
This study focused on the performance properties of flax blended knitted fabrics. Firstly, fabrics were knitted using flax/recycled polyester/polyester yarns developed in different blend ratios. Physical tests such as dimensional properties, fastness tests and bursting strength of the obtained fabrics were carried out. Then, comfort properties were examined in terms of drying rate and air permeability. In conclusion, while the best fabric performance was obtained in single jersey and pique quality, it was determined that flax-containing yarns were not suitable for rib quality. Increasing the flax ratio has a negative impact on fabric performance, and the optimum flax ratio to be used has been determined as 20%.
