Purpose - The purpose of this research is to investigate an alternative approach that can develop and assess the fabric made from twist less weft yarn. Design/methodology/approach- The fabric was...

In the last few years, monitoring systems based on multifunctional instrumented garments are playing an innovative role in the development of more human oriented monitoring devices. Smart fabrics allow the monitoring of patients over extended period, in a natural contest, in biomedicine, as well as in several health-focused disciplines...

Researchers of the Auckland University of Technology have discovered recently that there is a big change in the way manufacturers use measurement techniques to take the customers body measurements. During the past decades, there has been a vast change in the living style, demography, body size and shape of individuals, but the measurement techniques did not keep pace...

Over the last 20 years there has been a dramatic technical development of machines and software in the production of knitted fashion garments. This development has made it possible to rationalize design and production of knitted garments so that today it is possible to make a knitted garment, almost ready made, directly in the knitting machine, with a minimum of processes, such as...

This paper includes firstly a theoretical study of the combined effect of dimensionless fabrics construction factors such as thread diameter, thread, spacing, thread displacement from fabric center, degree of thread flattening and float ratio on crimp interchange between warp and...

In colour reproduction, it is generally important for different reasons to know beforehand the colour gamut of reproducible colours (Berns, 2000). Some industries applying industrial colorimetry, such as textiles, plastics, leather, paints, usually keep a data base with their colour gamut, which only occasionally, following commercial criteria and fashion, is reproduced in...
