“…The wicking performance of the fabrics and clothing assemblies is significantly affected by the wicking performance of the yarn. Many parameters, such as fibre type and composition, yarn structure, twist level and distribution, number of fibres in yarn cross-section and fibre configuration in yarn, determine the wicking performance of spun and filament yarns (Das, Kothari, & Balaji, 2007;Hamdaoui, Fayala, & Nasrallah, 2007;Ito & Muraoka, 1993;Liu, Choi, & Li, 2008;Lord, 1974;Nyoni & Brook, 2006;Ozturk, Nergis, & Candan, 2011;Subramaniam, Natarajan, Mohammed, & Nirmala, 1988;Subramanian, Venkatachalam, & Subramaiam, 2007;Wang, Zha, & Wang, 2008). The wicking behaviour of different yarn types including conventional ring-, compact, and siro-spun yarns and open-end rotor yarns has been investigated by a number of researchers so far.…”

This study investigated the vertical wicking, water absorption and drying properties of vortex-and ring-spun combed cotton yarns and knitted fabrics comparatively. The yarns were produced in three different counts as 30 Ne, 40 Ne and 50 Ne. The experimental results revealed that vortex-spun yarns had lower yarn and fabric wicking and water absorption values than ring-spun yarns. In addition, it was observed that yarn type did not have a significant impact on the drying time of the fabrics.

“…Herezele, Clerck, and Kiekens (2005) similarly used for fabric, while Liu, Choi, and Li (2008) practiced to measure the capillary rise in twisted yarns. The height was recorded up to 10 min at appropriate intervals of 15, 30 and 60 s. Ten recordings were carried out in both warp and weft directions for each specimen and the average values for each time span are presented here.…”

The transmission property of a fabric is a key factor that affects clothing's comfort and decides the functional potential of clothing. The dependence of filament cross-section with varying shape factor (SF) on air, moisture and thermal transmission behaviour of fabric is determined in case of polyester multifilament woven fabrics. The linear density of each filament is kept identical for all 12 cross-section shape filaments. The SF of filament cross-section is an important factor which remained the prime factor to influence the transmission behaviour of fabric samples directly in many cases. Other indirect factors that influence the transmission behaviour of fabrics when the SF is identical are yarn structure, inter-fibre and inter-yarn space. Twelve different novel cross-sectional shapes are considered to make the multifilament woven polyester fabrics. The fabrics made from multifilament yarns having different SFs show that relative moisture vapour permeability and air permeability decrease with the rise in SF. Wickability increases with the rise in the SF of a filament cross-section. Multilobal, hexalobal and plus shapes were made a part of novel cross-sectional shapes in order to develop fabrics of higher comfort index.

“…A previous study examined the relationship with the hygroscopicity of yarns and the twisting process. The test results showed that excessive twisting damaged the yarns' structure and decreased the capillary phenomenon [24]. Another previous study examined how the moisture diffusion coefficient of yarns was related to twisting.…”

Conventional sportswear fabrics are functional textiles that can mitigate the impaired muscles caused by exercises for the wearers, but they can also cause discomfort and skin allergy. This study proposes combining two yarns to form functional composite yarns, by using a twisting or wrapping process. Moreover, a different twist number is used in order to adjust the performance of functional composite yarns. A crochet machine is used to make the functional composite yarns into functional elastic knits that are suitable for use in sportswear. The test results show that, in comparison to the non-processed yarns, using the twisted or wrapped yarns can considerably decrease the water vapor transmission rate of functional elastic knits by 38%, while also improving their far infrared emissivity by 13%, water absorption rate by 39%, and air permeability by 136%. In particular, the functional elastic knits that are made of B-wrapped yarns (bamboo charcoal-wrapped yarns), composed of 20 twists per inch, have the optimal diverse functions.
