Abstract
The summer headscarves, which are usually made of polyester, are commonly used by women in the Middle East and South Asia regions. The polyester fibers provide good luster and drape but give poor comfort to the wearer. This work aims to produce summer headscarf fabrics using four different fibers with three different fabric structures to achieve comfortable summer scarf. The micropolyester, TENCEL™, COOLMAX®, and bamboo fibers were selected to construct the fabrics with 1/1 plain, 2/1 twill, and 2/2 matt weave. The ring spinning technique was employed to form yarns, which were later used to construct fabrics from these yarns. The fabrics were tested for drape, surface friction, air permeability, thermal resistance, overall moisture management capability, etc. The study revealed that matt weave is the best choice for summer scarf fabrics due to its structure. Further, it was also concluded that in fibers, micropolyester and TENCEL™ can provide the best results for aesthetic, tactile, and thermal comfort.
