Factors that lead to fabric defectsA. Material-Related Factors

Fiber contaminants

Excessive neps and seedcoat fragments

Excessive short fiber content

Excessive trash content

High variability between and within-mix

Clusters of unfavourable fiber characteristics

Weight variation

Twist variation

Excessive Hairiness

Factors that lead to fabric defects (contd.)B. Machine-Related Factors:

Failure of spinning preparation to eliminate or minimize short

and long-term variation

Failure of the mixing machinery to provide a homogenous

blend

Excessive machine stops particularly during spinning

Excessive ends piecing during spinning preparation

Poor maintenance and housekeeping

Knitting-related defects

Dyeing and Finishing-related defects

Fabric press off

Fabric press off appear, as a big small hole in the fabric, caused due to the interruption of the loop forming process, as a result of the yarn breakage, or closed needle hooks. Press off takes place, when the yarn feeding to both the short butt & long butt needles, suddenly stops, due to the yarn breakage.Causes:End breakage on feeders, with all needles knitting.Yarn feeder remaining in lifted up position, due to which the yarn doesn’t get fed in the hooks of the needles.Remedies:Needle detectors, should be set precisely, to detect the closed needles & prevent the fabric tube form completely pressing off.Proper yarn tension should be maintained, on all the feeders.
