Tight fabric structural forms show higher bursting strength to the extent of 5.35% to 9.26% than slack fabric structural forms in all the three Eri silk knit structures, which is graphically represented in Figure 6. Eri/wool blended fabric possessed high thermal insulation, strength, low fabric shrinkage, and good surface characteristic than pure wool fabric (DeSubir and Ashis [5]). An average of 7% higher fabric abrasive loss is observed with the Eri silk slack structural fabric than the tight structural fabrics, which is graphically depicted in Figure 7.
