Thermal Insulation of Wool Knitted Fabric

― Thermal Insulation Depend on Various Kinds of Knitting ―

Abstract

  There are many kinds of knitting. However, we are not able to find an experimemtal data for the thermal insulation depend on various kinds of knitting. So that we tried to compare it among six kinds of basic knitting used ordinary.

  The following results were obtained from the experiments.

  We found high correlation between the heat loss of knitted fabric and mass (thickness, weight of plane). Accordingly, the thermal insulation increases with increasing amount of wool yarn used.
