The study focuses on stitch length variation in the weft-knitted fabrics to the fabric properties like air permeability, bursting strength, tightness, and geometry due to its divergence. The yarn of 30 Ne of 100% cotton fiber, 22 Ne of 80% polyester and 20% cotton (PC) blend, and 28 Ne of 76% cotton and 24% polyester (CVC) are used for the study. Fabric is produced with the same stitch length and necessary parameters are tested in the dry state and relaxed state after relaxation in standard
