Knitting Fabric GSM Guide

The document provides guidelines for knitting different types of fabrics based on their grams per square meter (GSM) specifications. It lists the yarn count, stitch line, and gray (unprocessed) GSM needed to achieve finished fabrics within certain GSM ranges for single jersey, pique, interlock, and rib fabrics. It also provides methods for calculating the gray GSM from the finished GSM based on the yarn count.

Knitting Rules

Now we learn the Relation Between Yarn count, Knitting, Dyeing & Gsm. At first please note: 1 CM = 10 MM, 1 INCH = 2.54 CM 1 INCH = 25.4 MM ---------------------

If we want to make Single jersey finished fabric with 130 GSM to 150 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 30/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.65 - 2.90 Grey Gsm should be : 110 - 120 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 18/20 Feeder for Single Jersey 1 cm = 28/32 Feeder for Single Lacost, S/Pique 1 cm = 30/34 Feeder for Double Lacost, D/pique -------------------------------------------------If we want to make Single jersey finished fabric with 160 GSM to 170 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 26/s comb or card

Stitch line will be : 2.70 - 2.90 Grey Gsm should be : 125 - 135 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 16/18 Feeder for Single Jersey 1 cm = 26/30 Feeder for Single Lacost, S/Pique 1 cm = 28/32 Feeder for Double Lacost, D/pique -------------------------------------------------If we want to make Single jersey finished fabric with 175 GSM to 190 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 24/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.75 - 2.95 Grey Gsm should be : 135 - 145 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 16/18 Feeder for Single Jersey 1 cm = 24/28 Feeder for Single Lacost, S/Pique 1 cm = 26/30 Feeder for Double Lacost, D/pique --------------------------------------------------If we want to make Single jersey finished fabric with 190 GSM to 210 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 20/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.90 - 3.20 Grey Gsm should be : 150 - 165 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 4/18 Feeder for Single Jersey 1 cm = 22/26 Feeder for Single Lacost, S/Pique 1 cm = 24/28 Feeder for Double Lacost, D/pique -------------------------------------------------If we want to make P/interlock finished fabric with 180 GSM to 210 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 40/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 1.55 - 1.75 Grey Gsm should be : 135 - 150 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 32/36 Feeder ----------------------

If we want to make P/interlock finished fabric with 210 GSM to 230 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 34/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 1.65 - 1.85 Grey Gsm should be : 150 - 170 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 30/34 Feeder ---------------------If we want to make P/interlock finished fabric with 230 GSM to 250 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 30/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 1.65 - 1.85 Grey Gsm should be : 170 - 190 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 28/32 Feeder ----------------------If we want to make RIB (1X1) finished fabric with 170 GSM to 190 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 30/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.65 - 2.85 Grey Gsm should be : 125 - 130 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 17/18 Feeder ---------------------If we want to make RIB (1X1) finished fabric with 195 GSM to 225 GSM then we must follow the below rules: Yarn count will be : 26/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.70 - 2.95 Grey Gsm should be : 140 - 155 Gsm Where:
1 cm = 16/17 Feeder ---------------------If we want to make RIB (1X1) finished fabric with 230 GSM to 250 GSM then we must follow the below rules:

Yarn count will be : 24/s comb or card Stitch line will be : 2.70 - 2.95 Grey Gsm should be : 160 - 175 Gsm Where: 1 cm = 16/17 Feeder ----------------------However, you can also calculate the of find out the Grey fabric Gsm from a finished fabric Gsm, It will be as like below: In single jersey fabric : If the yarn count is 30/s then the grey gsm will be 80% to 85% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 26/s then the grey gsm will be 78% to 80% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 24/s then the grey gsm will be 76% to 77% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 20/s then the grey gsm will be 76% to 79% less from the finished Gsm

In P/int fabric : If the yarn count is 40/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 34/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 30/s then the grey gsm will be 74% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 26/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm If the yarn count is 24/s then the grey gsm will be 72% less from the finished Gsm
