Abstract

Bamboo fabrics, which are made by a echo-friendly fiber, have the following properties: lightweight, good weathering ability, good design and manufacture flexibility and medium strength. Dyeing using loess, a major kind of mineral natural dye is good for human body, protects environment and is able to produce beautiful natural colors. In this article, the changes of mechanical properties of bamboo knitted fabric after loess dyeing were evaluated and compared with those of cotton knitted fabric and cotton/bamboo blended knitted fabric. Experiment is conducted as follows; 1) preparing 3 kinds of knitted fabrics, 2) 3 kinds of knitted fabrics were loess dyed 8 times, 3) measuring and comparing the mechanical properties of knitted fabrics before and after dyeing. As a results, bamboo knitted fabrics were more flexible than cotton knitted fabrics. After loess dyeing, stiffness and toughness properties of knitted fabrics further increased. Cotton knitted fabrics showed higher value of KOSHI than bamboo knitted fabrics. Cotton knitted fabrics showed lower value of NUMERI, FUKURAMI than bamboo knitted fabrics. Bamboo-cotton blend is a good alternative for well-being textile because it has the advantages of both cotton and bamboo fabrics.
