Influence of Elastane Consumption on Plated Plain Knitted Fabric Characteristics

Influence of Elastane Consumption on Plated Plain Knitted Fabric Characteristics

The requirements in terms of wearing comfort withsportswear underwear and outerwear are widelylinked to the use of elastane fibers. Today,elastomeric plated jersey fabric is one of the mostcommon fabrics produced with large-diametercircular knitting machine (LCKM). However, therelation between elast...
