Item Comfort properties of finished Polyester/Cotton Knitted fabric as affected by various yarn and fabric variables(UMT.Lahore, 2014) Muhammad Qamar TusiefThe radical changes have been made in textile industry by the advances in science and technology. Now a days clothing is not only for aesthetic and ethical reasons; but also comfort parameters like elasticity, softness, air permeability, thermal insulation and water vapor permeability are expected from garments. Hence the present research study was planned to investigate the effect of yarn count, P/C blend ratios and various knitted fabric structures on comfort properties of the fabric. It was found that all these variables put significant effect on comfort related properties of fabric.Item IMPACT OF YARN TWIST MULTIPLIER, NUMBER OF FEEDERS AND INFFED YARN TENSION ON BARRE RELATED IMPERFACTIONS IN KNITTED FABRIC(UMT.Lahore, 2014) ZAHID HUSSAINFabric barre is one of the most important issues in knitting industry. Barre is the occurrence of unintentional repetitive lines of off shaded bar in fabric in the same dimension during its construction. In circular knitting this problem is due to of many reasons. Yarn tension is one of them. In order to investigate the major cause of this fault, barre, this research study was planned under various influencing factors like yarn twist, yarn tension, and number of feeders used in knitting machine. It was found that all these factors put influence on fabric characteristics.Item Sustainable Fashion Where ethics meets aesthetics(UMT.Lahore, 2014) Benish RehmanThe customer‟s entire products have an effect on the atmosphere obviously but a regular consumer does not know about the fact that which of the product could give the environment smaller or larger impact than that of other product. Every product which is produced, consumed and discarded in such manner which considerably cut down the damage it could originate on the surroundings otherwise is called as Eco-Friendly product. In Textile industry both Natural Fibers (Cotton, Wool, Silk, Linen, and Hemp) and Manmade Fibers most of which are Synthetic Fibers which are made from petrochemicals (Polyamide, Acrylic) are used. The clothes which we are wearing most of the time are made of the fibers containing Polyester and Lycra. These are cheap and easy care fibers but at the same time they create pollution and difficult to recycle.Item MINIMIZE THE SEAM DAMEGES OF KNIT WEAR AFTER WASHING UNDER SEWING PARAMETERS(UMT.Lahore, 0014) Zohaib AzharIn this thesis comprehensive study has been done to optimize the sewing parameters values to minimize the seam damage in knitwear garments in which washing is done for either aesthetic or dimensional purpose. For this purpose 108 samples were prepared by using single jersey knitted fabrics and different sewing condition. Input variable includes stitch density, machine speed and needle size. While output variables are the seam strength before and after wash to analyze the effect of input variables. Total number of samples has been divided into two groups on the basis of before and after wash and each sample has a replicate. Each type of sample has set of 4 samples.
