Discussion over some issues on structure design of ramie fabric

To ameliorate the prodding and itching feeling of ramie fabric and improve its wearability,this paper analyses the causes leading itchiness,and investigates the design of ramie fabrics in terms of selection of fabric weave and structure,and determination of fabric count and tightness.It establishes a formula for calculating the possible range of density of warp for a ramie fabric with non-tight structure,providing a theoretical basis for rational design of ramie fabric.The result shows that with different kinds of yarn and density of fabric,as long as structure parameters like fabric structural phase,warp and weft density and tightness are properly chosen,bending of fiber and yarn is reduced so that sources of itchiness are reduced.
