Abstract
Fabrics woven from ring-, rotor-, and friction-spun yarns, have been compared from the standpoint of comfort. Emphasis has been placed on the tactile and thermal aspects of comfort by the use of the Kawabata Fabric Evaluation System. The effect of the weave on the comfort aspects of the fabric has also been studied. Although ring-spun yarn has been found to be the best yarn from the tactile comfort point of view and friction-spun yarn has been found most suitable from the standpoint of thermal comfort, fabrics woven from friction-spun yarns do tend to bag during usage. Ring- and rotor-spun yarns are comparable from the thermal comfort aspect, the rotor-spun yarn being slightly better. A twill-woven fabric has been found preferable to a plain-woven fabric in all aspects of comfort.
