ABSTRACT
Investigations were made to study the influence of linear density and different twist factors upon the areal density i.e. weight per unit area of single jersey, rib and interlock fabrics. The collective effect of all these structures for the areal density was found elevated with the increase of twist while the trend was reverse for courser yarn counts.
