Due to the spread of the Egyptian cotton substitutes (the Greek and the Sudanese); this study aims at evaluating the characteristics of the single jersey knitted fabrics produced from these cotton types. Moreover, to evaluate the extent of the change in these characteristics as the fabric cost decreases. Single Jersey knitted fabrics were produced with the same stitch length, but from different cotton yarns; Egyptian (Giza 86), Sudanese (Acala), and Egyptian/ Sudanese blend 50:50, and by using three levels of yarn twist factor. Several fabrics characteristics were tested such as color characteristics and color fastness to washing, perspiration, and abrasion. The moisture management properties were measured and the results showed that the Egyptian cotton fabrics exhibited a significant improvement in terms of the overall moisture management, the weight of square meter, a slight improvement in the shrinkage and some color properties. However, the results showed the insignificant effect of cotton type or yarn twist factor used on the color fastness properties.
