Abstract
This paper presents analytical and experimental procedures to evaluate the influence of knitted fabrics on the total hand value (THV) for women’s winter thin dress. We examined and compared its mechanical properties, such as tensile, shear, bending, compression, surface roughness and friction properties, measured by the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES FB-Auto), of knitted fabrics with different fiber compositions and different types of knitted structures. The obtained results showed that the knitted structures have significantly influenced on the total hand value (THV) whereas the fiber compositions have shown a less effect on (THV). The existing results prove that the evaluation by KES FB-Auto system has been more beneficial for its basic of mechanical and surface properties. Moreover, the results could be analyzed for its new designing patterns for a refined, comfortable stretch fit.
