Abstract

“Fabric hand” describes the way a fabric feels when it is touched and manipulated by hand. Fabric hand might be considered as the first method of fabric testing ever created by humans. It is also one of the everlasting evaluation techniques of fabric. Even with today's technological advances in testing and evaluation, subjective fabric hand still remains one of the most reliable methods of fabric characterization. Through the touch and feel of fabric and with little experience, people can gain information that no other testing technique could fully yield. When fabric hand is compared with other subjective means such as vision, it is always found that the sense of touch has better ability to discriminate and recognize complex stimulus patterns than the visual system does. This is because human skin has a remarkable ability to detect even the slightest touch and any point on the human body can cause a sensation of touch.
