The objective of this work was to review the properties of selected specialty protein fiber
knit fabrics suitable for everyday wear. Selected properties (dimensional stability to
laundering, mass, thickness, and stitches per centimeter) of three commercially available
fabrics were measured when new and after each laundering cycle (1—6). The silk and silk-
blend fabrics achieved dimensional stability by six laundering cycles. Fabric properties
differed with the number of laundering cycles, fabric color, and fabric type. Although water
temperature affected the pattern of change of some properties, it had no overall effect on
properties of the stabilized fabrics. However, examination of new and washed fabric using
scanning electron microscopy suggested fibrillation and degradation of silk fibers may be
affected by laundering.
