 ABSTRACT

The patterns of knit fabrics are designed by loops, tuck stitches, and float stitches and their
combinations. The tuck stitch has important influences on fabric properties. It increases the
fabrics weight, thickness, and width and makes the fabric more porous than other fabrics. In
this study, to determine the effects of knit structures which are made from the same cotton yarn
with tuck stitches on fabric properties and pilling resistance, circular knit fabrics with different
locations and number of tuck stitches were produced and dyed under the same conditions. In
the evaluation process of the results, graphs were drawn and variance analyses were performed.
At the end of the study, important findings were determined. The number and location of the
tuck stitches and stitch length are effective factors on the structural, physical properties and the
pilling resistance of knit fabrics. The fabrics with tuck stitches have much higher porosity,
weight, and thickness compared to single jersey fabric. The dyeing process increases fabric
weight. Single jersey has the lowest pilling resistance in comparison to fabrics having tuck
stitches. The fabrics having more pores and larger pores show higher resistance to pilling.
Dyeing and finishing processes decreased the pilling resistance of fabrics.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all, I am grateful to almighty Allah without Whose help, it would not have been possible
