Development of Knitted Bi-Layered Fabric in Activewear

Abstract

Development of knitted bi-layer fabric from jacquard interlock knitting machine. The raw material used for bi-layer fabric is viscose cotton blend yarn and polycotton yarn as outer layer of the fabric then the 100% viscose as the inner layer of the common for both type of yarn. Fibers like nylon-spandex, polyester-spandex, polypropylene. Breathability appears to be main issue regarding these fibers and other characteristics like prone to static buildup, resilience, absorptiveness, air permeability are the disadvantages of the polyester. Hence, we are going to differentiate polyester activewear with our developed activewear. This bi-layer knitted fabric having two layers of yarn, outer layer made up of cotton from different spinning techniques which is viscose cotton blend and polycotton. The important characteristics of sportswear are the rapid transformation of perspiration and rapid evaporation to keep fabric non-sticky.
