Deformation by laundering is investigated for single jersey and 1 × 1 rib flat knit silk and
cotton fabrics with yams of varying linear densities and fabric tightness. The fabrics are
subjected to relaxation processes and an extended series of wash and tumble- dry cycles.
Changes in dimensions are measured in every process and cycle. Statistical analyses of
the experimental data reveal the effect of yam type as well as linear density and tightness
factor on the linear and area shrinkage behavior of silk as compared to cotton. Cotton
shrinks more than silk, and silk rib knits stretch excessively in width. Silk attains full
relaxation after one laundering cycle. Microscopic views reveal the appearance of ball-like
formations along silk fibers after repeated laundering. It is possible to predict fabric
dimensional changes with wet relaxation as well as with laundering, especially in silk.
