AB  - Eri silk is one of the wild silk varieties which are mainly available in the north-eastern areas of India. It exhibits good
mechanical and thermal resistance properties. In this concern, the present study focused to develop a bi-layer knitted
structure made from Eri silk yarn as one side(next to skin) and on another side bamboo yarn knitted fabric. Similarly,
Tencel knitted fabric was used instead of bamboo. Twenty-four bi-layer knitted fabrics were developed and then
analysed for its thermal comfort property. The air permeability, and wick-ability were found to be higher and the thermal
resistance was found to be higher for bi-layer plated interlocked knitted fabric made out of Eri silk compared to bamboo
and Tencel.
