4. Conclusions
- (1)
- Yarns with excellent tensile stress (32.59 ± 0.82 MPa) and tensile strain (357.28% ± 9.10%) were obtained when inner and outer wrapping density, the take-up ratio, and drafting ratio of 900 T/m, 765 T/m, 0.3, and 5.2, respectively.
- (2)
- Compared to commercial wrapped yarns and reported data about core-spun and wrapped yarns, the optimized yarns exhibited a higher elastic recovery rate (89.6% ± 0.5%) and a much lower stress decay rate (12.0% ± 2.2%).
- (3)
- Notably, the elastic recovery rate of weft-lined fabrics based on optimized wrapped yarns can be maintained above 85.98% ± 0.62% at any elongation. The stress decay rate can be kept below 10.67% ± 0.15% after five cycles of stretching, indicating that the knitted fabrics are ideal candidates to meet the performance requirements of compression stockings and sleeves.
