A statistic analysis on style of silk/Optim fiber blended fabric

A series of fabrics with styles of silk/cashmere and silk/wool textiles were produced with spun silk as warp and wool,cashmere,spun silk,silk/wool,cashmere/Optim,Optim/spun silk/wool,Optim/spun silk/ cashmere as filling.The fabric performance of both fabric hand and visual style were tested with instruments including FAST system.The testing results were statistically analyzed with Multivariate Linear Regression Analysis,Variance Analysis,and Cluster Analysis,and the relation between the fabric style characteristics and the percentage contents of silk,cashmere,Optim and wool fibers in the fabrics were discussed.The results showed that the percentage content of Optim fiber in the fabrics has important effect on the fabric thickness,anti-bending properties,fabric drape and etc.At the same time,Optim fiber can replace cashmere fiber in a definite range without the style variance of the silk/cashmere fabric.
