“…41 The OMMC of twill weave fabric is higher in comparison to plain weave design fabric due to the higher weave float length in twill weave design fabric. 42 These results also depicted that OMMC of fine yarn count blended fabrics is higher than coarser yarn blended fabrics. It could be owing to the fact that the fabrics made with finer yarn counts have lower fabric thickness and more inter-yarn capillaries per unit area in comparison to coarser yarn blended fabrics.…”

The increasing concern about the environment has enhanced the utilization of sustainable products in every field of life, from common household items to fabrics. Although cotton is a plant-based fiber, its cultivation requires large amounts of water and pesticides. Therefore, the future of product development demands environmental friendliness. To overcome the problems of cotton related to the environment, a novel sustainable fabric was developed by using Tencel and jute fiber for the apparel industry to reduce the usage of cotton. In this current study, six blended yarns of two counts (10 & 20 Ne) of Tencel and jute (90:10, 80:20, and 70:30) were developed by ring spinning to weave fabric in two weave designs (Plain & Twill). These developed fabrics were assessed for mechanical, comfort, and hand properties. The results revealed that the blended fabric with a high content of Tencel is good in terms of mechanical, comfort, and hand properties, except for stiffness, pilling resistance, resilience, and drapeability. Additionally, fabric woven with a fine yarn count is also good in the above-stated properties, except for stiffness, resilience, and wrinkle recovery. However, fabrics woven with a twill weave design have good comfort and hand properties, except for smoothness and drapability. On the other hand, fabric with a plain weave design is good in terms of mechanical properties, except for tear strength. The comparison of TJ blended fabric with PC blended fabric shows that the tensile strength, air permeability and OMMC of JT blended fabric is 8.31%, 96%, and 29.46% higher than PC blended fabric but tear strength is 99% less. Furthermore, statistical analysis was performed to check the effect of the input variables on the response factors, and it was found that the effect of yarn count on all output responses is statistically the most significant.

This paper presents an experimental study of the selected performance properties of 100% cotton terry fabrics. In this study, nine different constructions of terry fabrics were woven with Ne 12/1, Ne 16/1 and Ne 20/1 100% carded cotton ring spun weft yarns in three different weft densities. Fabric samples were subjected to 5 washing cycles before accomplishing the tests; air permeability, resistance to pile loop extraction, bursting strength, tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance, static water absorption and drying rate. Experimental results were analyzed using General Linear Model Analysis, Correlation Analysis and Paired-Samples T Test Analysis. According to results, weft yarn count is effective on air permeability, resistance to pile loop extraction, bursting strength, tensile strength, tear strength, mass loss ratio and static water absorption whereas weft density is effective on air permeability, resistance to pile loop extraction (15, 20 and 25 mm pulling distances), bursting strength, tensile strength, tear strength, mass loss ratio and remaining water ratio. The statistical evaluations demonstrate that repeated launderings also affect the performance properties of woven terry fabrics.

Stretch woven fabrics continue to grow in popularity, offering superior elastic properties and comfort. However, there are a number of factors (e.g., elongation, recovery, growth, tensile strength, tearing strength, and shrinkage) that can affect the attributes and performance of stretch woven fabric. These were investigated in the present study in relation to different elastane content and thread density. Blended cotton woven fabrics containing an increased elastane content gave enhanced elongation and recovery, despite a decrease in thread density. The tensile strength, tearing strength, shrinkage, and fabric growth decreased when the elastane ratio increased, regardless of the decline in warp thread density.
