“…Fabric construction was exactly as described in earlier study (McGregor & Postle, 2008). Yarns of count R36/2 were knitted on a 23-gauge circular machine in a single jersey structure to each of three tightness factors (TFs) 14.0, 15.5 and 17.0 tex ½ /cm with loop lengths of 4.29, 3.87 and 3.53 mm, respectively.…”

“…Fabrics were tested for 13 attributes as described in detail previously (McGregor, 2001;McGregor & Postle, 2008, 2009. Mass per unit area (g/m 2 ) was determined with sample area of 11.35 cm 2 .…”

“…Fabrics with more tensile linearity (higher values) were measured as being less comfortable on the WCM than fabrics which exhibit maximum deviation from linearity (Figure 3(b)). The lower tensile linearity of pure cashmere and high cashmere/wool blends means that high-content cashmere fabrics are more supple and springy than low-content cashmere wool blend fabrics or pure wool fabrics (McGregor & Postle, 2008). Cashmere fabric was thinner and more open, with relatively low inter-yarn friction, resulting in lower forces opposing deformation and recovery of fabrics (McGregor & Postle, 2008).…”

In this replicated experiment, we investigated the comfort properties of single jersey fabrics composed of cashmere in blends with superfine wools of different fibre curvature (crimp) where the fibre diameter of the wool and cashmere were tightly controlled. The 81 fabrics were evaluated using the Wool ComfortMeter (WCM) which has been calibrated using wearer trials of wool knitwear. General linear modelling determined the best prediction models for log 10 transformed fabric WCM values using 27 fibre, 16 yarn and 30 fabric attributes. Tighter fabrics were less comfortable. Progressively blending cashmere with wool progressively increased comfort assessment. The WCM was able to detect differences between fabrics which were more supple and springy, thinner and lighter, and were composed of more elastic, uniform and stronger yarns. Together these attributes explained 82% of the variance in WCM value.

Stiffness is an important mechanical property that influences fabric handle, clothing appearance and fit. The circular bending stiffness, fabric formability and drapeability have high influence on fitting the cloths to human body. In this study, the comparison of circular bending stiffness and drape of wool fabrics were analyzed. Comparison of experimental data of fabric parameters shows reasonable agreement between circular bending stiffness and drape behavior.

“…McGregor and Postle [2] presented a study on investigation of the effects of cashmere in blends with superfine wools on the mechanical properties of single jersey knitted fabrics. It was stated that adding cashmere fiber to superfine merino wool provides softness, smoothness, flexibility, and suppleness to the knitted fabric.…”

Abstract:In the context of this study, it is intended to investigate the effects of cashmere/cotton ratio in yarn and fabric density on permeability properties of knitted fabrics. The yarn samples were produced with three different ratios as; 95-5% cotton-cashmere, 90-10% cotton-cashmere and 85-15% cotton-cashmere via vortex spinning system. Then, the yarn samples were knitted with three different loop length values for producing the fabrics as loose, medium and tight structures. In doing so, nine fabric samples were produced. Air permeability and water vapour permeability of these samples were tested as comfort related properties. As a result of the study, it is observed that higher air permeability and lower water vapour permeability values can be obtained by using higher cashmere ratio in yarn structure.

İplik numuneleri 95-5% pamuk-kaşmir, 90-10% pamuk-kaşmir ve 85-15% pamuk-kaşmir olmak üzere vortex iplik üretim sisteminde üretilmiştir. Daha sonra iplik numuneleri, gevşek, orta ve sıkı yapıda örgü kumaş üretmek amacıyla üç farklı ilmek uzunluğunda örülmüştür. Böylelikle, dokuz farklı kumaş numunesi elde edilmiştir. Konfor özellikleri olarak hava geçirgenliği ve su buharı geçirgenliği özellikleri test edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, iplikte kaşmir oranının artmasıyla daha yüksek hava geçirgenliği ve daha düşük su buharı geçirgenliği değerlerinin elde edildiği gözlemlenmiştir.
