Abstract

Recently, the use of knitted fabrics has spread in all fields, especially in the field of clothing manufacturing, due to its functional and aesthetic properties. Structure composition of knitting fabric is considered the most important of its feature, as the loop interlocking adds high ability of stretch.
Fleece is given to fabrics with floating stitches in the back. These are single-sided fabrics that are produced by adding threads to the threads that make up the fabric on a regular basis.
Three thread fleece fabrics are considered as the most widely used knitted fabrics in clothing because of its excellent properties such as drapability and warmth.
Three thread fabrics are composed of three types of threads that form together to form the structural composition of melon fabrics. The three threads are:
• face yarn
• binding yarn
• fleecy yarn
Controlling the properties of three thread fleece fabrics results from selecting yarns suitable for final usage in addition to some adjustments to the manufactured machine.
