The dimensional and mechanical properties of plain knitted fabrics from open-end and ring spun acrylic-viscose blended yams are investigated. The fabric area shrinkage (%), thickness, and areal density of open-end spun yarns are greater but the bursting strength is less in comparison to ring-spun yarns. Knitted fabrics from ring spun yarns have a greater propensity to pill.
