Abstract:
The smallest element of a knitted fabric is the loop. The constituent loop of a weft knitted fabric has the general shape. During knitting the loop is extended due to take down force applied to the fabric. The vast majority of the aforementioned studies deal with the properties of compact yarn as it is in yarn form. Several experts have described the technical principles of compact spinning that result in a more organised structure without peripheral fibres and with a better twist distribution.
