In this study effect of blend percentage on the properties of silkacrylic blended knitted fabrics has been analysed. For this purpose, single jersey weft knitted fabrics were prepared from acrylic silk blended yarns such as 100% shrinkable acrylic A10, 80% shrinkable acrylic and 20% silk (A8S2), A6S4, A5S5, A6S4, A8S2 and 100% silk S10. Fabric properties in dry relaxed condition were analyzed. Effect of blend percentage on course/cm, wales/cm, stitch length, stitch density, loop shape factor, tightness factor, thickness and skewness of silk- acrylic blended singlejersey knitted fabrics has been studied. It has been found that course/cm first increases, then reaches maximum at 50/50 silk- acrylic blend and then decreases. Values of wales/cm and stitch length decrease and then increase. Stitch density increases and then decreases. Decrease in stitch length is due to increase in bulk of yarn. Tightness factor is inversely proportional to stitch length. Thickness also increases and reaches maximum at 50/50 level and then decreases. Skewness of silk- acrylic blended fabrics is lesser than equivalent cotton fabric. Angle of spirallity or skewness of silk rich blends is greater than acrylic fabrics.
