Abstract
The effect of blend percentage on comfort and handle related properties of fabrics made from polyester/viscose blended air-jet textured yarn weft were studied and the results were compared with fabrics made from polyester/viscose ring-spun yarn wefts of similar linear densities. It is observed that with increase in polyester content in the blend, the air permeability and water vapour permeability reduces whereas thermal resistance, transverse wicking and shear rigidity increases both in ring-spun yarn and textured yarn fabrics and bending rigidity increases in textured yarn fabrics. Textured yarn fabrics exhibit lower air permeability and extensibility, higher thermal resistance, relative water vapour permeability, transverse wicking values and bending rigidity as compared to the ring-spun yarn fabrics.
