Abstract
Socks are a main sector of the knitting garment; it is daily and widely used in our life. Its characteristics are known as highly extensible with elastic recovery and semi-permanent deformation which give it easy wear and foot comfortable. Regenerating cellulosic fibers are type of eco-friendly fibers which have good moisture absorbent, biodegradable and antibacterial. The produced study is concerned with producing socks with 30/1 ring spinning yarns from three different kinds of regenerated cellulosic fibers (viscose, bamboo, Tencel), using two different socks machine in number of needles (200, 168 needles per diameter). The effect of machine gauge and type of material on the performance properties of the produced socks are investigated. The tested properties were thermal conductivity, air permeability, bursting, Surface roughness (MIU, SMD), abrasion and pilling. The results pointed to both factors (No. of machine needles and type of yarn are significant effect on tested properties. Also, it was found that the bamboo material is highly significant for the most properties.
