Abstract

Essential features influencing the coefficient of friction and thread tension during knitting are described. Knitted samples were produced on a one cylinder automatic hosiery knitting machine, gauge E 6, with paraffined and unparaffined cotton yarns, with the count of 50 tex. The individual samples were knitted under different input thread tensions: 5, 10 and 20 cN. The unparaffined yarn had the coefficient of friction 0.18, while three yarns treated with different paraffin kinds had the coefficients of friction 0.14, 0.15 and 0.17. The parameters of the structure of knitted goods are analysed.
