Development and Characterization of Knit Fabric from Jute Fibre

Jute is the golden fibre of Bangladesh, we hold a large share in the international jute market. Traditionally jute fiber is used to produce yarn and woven fabric. The properties of jute fiber indicates that it can be successfully used to produce knitted fabrics. We can use jute instead of synthetic fibre.This work compares the major quality parameters of knit fabric – weight, fabric density, dimensional stability, spirality, bursting strength, abrasion resistance and pilling, thermal conductivity and wash fastness are tested and assessed the performance of jute in replace of synthetic or cotton for apparel concern. All results are better and acceptable as compare to ISO norms.
