Abstract
This study aims to develop the Hanji denim fabric with Hanji combination yarn or with the Hanji paper yarn and core spun yarn in a 1:1 ratio as a weft. For the weft yarn, chemical indigo and natural indigo dyestuffs were used. The study developed four kinds of Hanji paper yarns and eight kinds of Hanji denim fabrics. In addition, the study tested the properties of the developed Hanji paper yarns, Hanji denim fabrics, and existing denim fabrics. In regard to the physical properties of yarns, the Hanji paper yarn showed a lower breaking stress but a relatively high breaking strain, and it remained a stable structure with no surface fluff. The Hanji combination yarn improved the weaving ability and had a stable structure form. In the resulting physical properties of the developed Hanji denim fabrics, they had a low apparent specific gravity, stability in dimensional change in washing and drying, a higher chance of commercialization in colorfastness to washing, medium stretchability, a similar drying velocity, and a fast absorption velocity compared to the existing denim fabrics. The study suggests that the Hanji denim fabrics are the good candidate materials for summer product development, since generally the Hanji denim fabrics have cool characteristics with the excellent absorption velocity, drying velocity, and low specific gravity.
Highlights
IntroductionA denim fabric is defined as a 100% woven cotton or union cloth with the ratios of 2:1 or 3:1 twill tissue using a warp, 7–20 Ne of cotton yarn (indigo vat dyeing), and the weft, unbleached yarn of 10–15 Ne. A surface of the denim fabric shows a blue color while the inside color shows a white color family only

Since the Hanji combination yarn was obtained by doubling and twisting the structure of Hanji paper yarn and core spun yarn, the weaving ability was made more complimentary by the increased tensile strength of Hanji paper yarn
Summary
A denim fabric is defined as a 100% woven cotton or union cloth with the ratios of 2:1 or 3:1 twill tissue using a warp, 7–20 Ne of cotton yarn (indigo vat dyeing), and the weft, unbleached yarn of 10–15 Ne. A surface of the denim fabric shows a blue color while the inside color shows a white color family only. The blue series production has been complimented by other colors with weaving patterns becoming more varied. A wearer expects to see the same attitude from their clothing (Ozdil 2008). The denim fabric is wrinkled since it does not have stretchable fiber component.
