Abstract
This work investigates the degree and stability of flat set for a seri es of plain weft knitted structures made from ring and rotor spun yarn s produced from cotton, polyester, and polyester blends. While the fla t set of cotton fabrics shows more or less similar values following bl eaching and dyeing, for polyester fabrics a lower value follows scouri ng and heat setting. Of the various methods used to study the degree o f flat set, curling couple merits consideration in view of its sensiti vity.
