Relationship between the comprehensive wearing characteristics and the structure parameters of lightweight worsted fabrics

The properties of lightweight worsted fabrics such as the warp and weft tensile strength, wrinkle recovery angle, drape coefficient, the length of warp and weft resistance to bending, and the fuzzing and pilling were tested, and the Q-clustering analysis method was used to analyze the property indexes obtained as well as the count, density and twist of warp yarn and weft yarn, the weight per unit area and thickness. The article deduced the relationship between the property indexes and structure parameters. It showed that comprehensive wearing characteristics of lightweight worsted fabrics are similar when they have the same material, same weave structure and yarn count. Fabric material ranks the first in influencing the comprehensive wearing characteristics of light-weight worsted fabrics, followed by the thickness, and then the weight.
