The Geometry and Properties of Two-Bar Tricot Fabrics

Abstract
A study was made of the geometry of 97 two-bar tricot fabrics knit of several deniers of acetate and viscose filament yarns knit with different courses per inch and runner ratios. Relationships were derived from the observed data of stitch length, diameter of yarn, runner ratios, wales and courses per inch, breaking strength, elongation, and burst ing strength.
