Comparable analysis of the end-use properties of woven fabrics with fancy yarns. Part I, Abrasion resistance and air permeability

Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyse the influence of fancy yarn structure on the abrasion resistance and air permeability of woven fabrics with these yarns. The dependencies of end-use properties and such fancy yarn structures as slub, loop or spiral were analysed. The influence of the fancy yarn structure, raw material and fabric weave on the above-mentioned properties of fabrics with fancy yarns was established during the investigation. Abrasion resistance is the fabric's ability to not change its strength and appearance during friction. The air permeability of outerwear is very important in wear comfort and durability. It was estimated that the parameters of yarns and fabric mentioned above influence the end-use properties of fabrics with fancy yarns.
