This study focused on the effect of single jersey, single pique, double pique and honeycomb structures and structural cell stitch length (SCSL) on ring, and compact yarn single jersey fabric properties. Compact yarn fabrics showed better performance in all the structures and their respective SCSL. With increased SCSL, the dimensional properties like CPI, WPI, SD, grams per square meter, thickness and tightness factor decreased for all the structures, while comfort properties like air permeability and water absorbency increased. The tensile, bending and compression properties of weft knitted fabrics improved and compressional resilience and surface properties generally decreased. Total hand values improved with SCSL. Other properties, such as abrasion resistance, bursting strength and pilling resistance improved with decreased SCSL. Combination order of knit-tuck stitches played an important role in all the properties. Double pique fabric showed better performance for the summer outer wear and single jersey fabric showed better performance for summer inner wear.
