Projektirane su i izrađene muške kratke čarape, bez uzorka, na čaraparskom automatu promjera cilindra 95 mm, (3¾e inča) koji je pleo sa 108 igala. Izrađivane su četiri obuvne veličine i to vel. 10, 11, 12 i 13 namijenjene proljetno-jesenskom periodu. Čarape su izrađivane u temeljnom platirnom desno-lijevom prepletu s pamučnom pređom finoće 50 tex i filamentnom pređom finoće 168 dtex, izrađenom od PA 6 nedovoljno poznatih karakteristika. U okrajak čarape upletena je elastanska nit („gumica“) finoće 54 tex. Prije i nakon procesa pletenja te nakon deset pranja na temp. 95 0C mjerene su osnovne značajke pređa. Također je mjerena masa čarape i parametri pletiva u čarapi te četiri najznačajnije dimenzije čarapa prije i nakon pranja. Mjerena je visina tijela čarape, duljina stopala čarape te polovica opsega tijela i polovica opsega stopala čarape. Rastezna svojstva pređa bitno se razlikuju prije pletenja i nakon desetorostrukog procesa pranja. Prekidna sila pamučne pređe veća je nakon deset pranja i do 27,47 %. Prekidna sila i istezljivost PA filamentne pređe manja je i do 59,54 % nakon deset pranja. Čarape se skupljaju uzduž i popriječno nakon deset pranja 11 do 19,14 % te nakon procesa pranja nemaju istu obuvnu veličinu. Zbog termičke nestabilnosit filamentne niti izrađene od PA 6 preporuča se nakon upotrebe čarape prati na hladno., Men's plain socks were designed and manufactured on an automatic hosiery machine with a cylinder diamter of 95 mm (3¾e inch) which knitted with 108 needles. Four sizes of 10, 11, 12 and 13 were made for spring and autumn season. The socks were manufactured in plated plain jersey from a 50 tex cotton yarn and a 168 dtex PA 6 filament yarn whose characteristics were insufficiently known. The cuff contianed an interlaced elastane yarn with a count of 54 tex. Principal yarn properties were measured before and after knitting and after 10 washing cycles at a temperature of 95 °C. Sock weight and knit fabric parameters in the sock as well as four most imprtant sock dimensios before and after washing were measured. The height of the sock leg, the length of the sock foot and half of the leg circumference and half of the foot circumference were measured. Stretching properties of the yarn were essentialy different before knitting and after 10 washing cycles. Cotton yarn breaking force was higher after 10 washing cycles up to 27.47%. PA filament breaking force and stretching was lower up to 59.54% after 10 washing cycles. The socks shrank longitudinally and transversally after 10 washing cycles from 11 to 19.14% and they did not have the same size after the washing procedure. Due to thermal instability of the PA 6 filament thread it is recommendable to use cold washing.
