| Abstract [eng] |
Textiles from natural fibres have exclusive properties as no release substances harmful for health, do not cause allergy effect, have got high heat absorption, high air permeability, high hygroscopicity. Thus, importance and impact of fibres of natural origin grows and stimulates demand for them by promoting their efficiency and sustainability. Majority of mechanical and physical properties of knitted fabrics depend on technical characteristics of knitting machine, on properties of yarns, as well as on the origin of raw material. This study attempts to develop knits from new natural and sustainable peat fibres and their combination with widely used woollen, cotton and elastomeric Lycra yarns and to investigate an influence of peat fibre nature on physical properties such as dimensional stability, air permeability, water adsorption. |
