This study investigated the differences between knitted fabrics made from compact and
conventional ring-spun yarns. 100% cotton yarns, produced from the same cotton blend,
were spun according to compact and conventional ring spinning principles in two different
yarn counts and twist factors. Three different knitting structures, ie, interlock, rib and single
jersey, were produced from these yarns. The physical properties of these fabrics were
investigated and compared with each other before and after the reactive dyeing process …

Compact spinning is a new version of ring spinning and the most distinct features of these
yarns are their high strength and elongation values and low hairiness. In this study, we
attempted to find the differences between compact and conventional ring knitted fabrics. One
hundred% cotton yarns, produced from the same cotton blend, were spun according to
compact and conventional ring spinning principles in two different yarns counts and twist
multipliers. Three different knitting structures, interlock, rib and single jersey, were produced …
