Sewability (Based on Needle Penetration Force) of 1 × 1 Rib Knitted Fabrics Produced with Separate Ends of Yarns

AUTEX Research Journal, 2019
Needle penetration force (NPF) is one of the main factors, which is used to determine fabric sewability. In this study, it was aimed to investigate sewability (based on NPF) of 1 × 1 rib knitted fabrics, which were produced by the separate ends of yarns.
