Very little work has been done in the area of spandex-blend weft knits. This paper presents the findings of knits produced from cotton/spandex- and polyester/spandex-blend knits produced from core spun yarns. The dimensional properties of cotton/spandex knits compare well with those of cotton knits. The behaviour of the loops in both the spandexblend knits in the course direction gives rise to the difference in the properties. The feed yarn tension has insignificant effect.
