Journal Textile Coloration and Finishing Year / Vol., Issue, Month 2019 / V.31,no.4,Dec Title The Mechanical Properties and Hand Evaluation of Bedclothes with Hollow Spun Yarn Authors Hyunseuk Choi1, Hyunmi Jang2, Moonkyu Jung3, Younhee Jeon4 and Jihyun Bae* Institution/Affiliations 1DYETEC, 2Free & Mezis, 3Dongjin, 4Shinil Textile, Hanyang University Pages/Total page pp.298 ~ 311 / 14 Language Korean Abstract In this study, the mechanical properties and hand characteristics of the knitted and woven fabrics for bedding items are investigated in accordance with fabric structural parameters including the fiber type and proportion, the density of the fabric, and the knit/weave structure. The knit stitches and structure of the knit samples made an effect on tensile properties. The bending, shear and compression properties for the knit fabric were mainly affected by fiber contents of the samples. The tensile and bending properties of woven samples were highly correlated with the fabric density, thickness and structure, and those shear and compression properties were affected by the fiber contents and structure. Consequently, the primary hand values of the selected samples we developed were estimated to have good smoothness, fullness and softness, and soft feeling, which is well correlated to the parameters of consumer preference such as softness, warmness, and bulkiness. Also, their total hand values were increased. Keywords bedclothes, mechanical properties, hand evaluation, hollow spun yarn, fabric structures Download   Reference
