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%.
