Analyzing of the Single Pique and Double Pique Fabrics with Different Contents and Dyeing Effects

Abstract

In apparel production, various fabrics are used. Among these fabrics, knitted fabrics are preferred due to their touch properties, high breathability, flexibility and comfort. Single-pique and double-pique fabrics are among the knitted fabrics preferred in the production of clothes generally worn in formal places such as business life. For this reason, although it is intended to give a formal attitude, physical and performance properties are important in pique fabrics. In this study, fabric developments were made to analyze the physical and mechanical performance properties of single-pique and double-pique fabrics. Dimensional change, color fastness to washing, color fastness to rubbing, color fastness to water, color fastness to perspiration, pilling, and bursting strength tests were performed on the developed fabrics, and the effect of fabric content and dyeing properties were investigated. According to the results, the general properties of cotton-polyester blended fabrics were found to be better. In addition, fabrics dyed in light colours were found to be more suitable for all properties except pilling. When the knitting type was analysed, it was determined that the physical properties of single pique fabric were more favourable.
