Abstract
This paper reports a computer simulation of stripiness in knitted fabrics and an associated experimental trial. In the computer simulation, stripiness is measured by the variation in one characteristic of the component threadlines of the fabric, the characteristic being assumed to be normally distributed. In the experimental trial, fabrics with observable stripes were produced by grouping, on a knitting machine, threadlines known to differ in a particular characteristic. It is shown that the simulation, in conjunction with the experimental trial, can be used to relate the quality control of the threadline production and the rejection rate, due to stripiness, of knitted beams of fabrics.Keywords
