Statistical Modeling of Spirality and Thickness Values in Plain Knitted Fabrics

In this study, knitted fabrics were produced from the yarns obtained by using different yarn production methods (ring, compact, and open-end rotor) with different loop length values. Spirality and thickness values of these fabrics were measured according to the relevant standards. These values were analyzed to estimate before production with the help of the SPSS 22.0 package program and equations have been established. Consequently, according to the equations, it was seen that, there is a highly correlated linear relationship between spirality and yarn count, wale density, and course density. Also, there is a linear relationship between fabric thickness and yarn count, fabric weight, and course density. The reason for using yarns obtained from different yarn production techniques is to increase the validity of the equations.
