In this study, weight, thickness, air permeability and bursting strength properties of knitted fabrics were analysed and the relation between the structural parameters, air permeability and bursting strength of fabrics were investigated. 100% cotton carded yarns spun as 12/1 Ne and 16/1 Ne from the same cotton blend were used. Experimental samples were knitted with two different course density using yarns with two different counts. Thus, fabrics were knitted with four constructions. It was found that, the air permeability was higher and bursting strength was lower for fabrics made from finer yarns. For the same yarn count, air permeability was lower and bursting strength was higher for fabrics having high course density.
