Study on the Loss of Strength of Denim-like Knitted Fabrics after Different Washing Treatments

Garments produced from denim-like knitted fabrics have been popular for few years because of the many advantages of knitted fabrics. To increase the worn-look denim appearance of these fabrics, washing treatments should be carried out. In this experimental study eight different washing treatments were applied to denim-like knitted fabrics produced from 18 different fleecy yarns. The bursting strength test was applied to the samples obtained and their strength losses calculated. At the end of the study, the most suitable washing treatment for denim-like knitted fabrics was selected, and according to the treatments applied, the best fabric type was chosen.
