Abstract

The tailoring quality of fabrics and design of garment as well as automated handling are greatly influenced by the fabric physical and low stress mechanical properties such as bending, tensile, shear and compression. Objectivemeasurement of these characteristics leads to making accurate decision in selecting fabrics in order to minimize the tailoring problems and improve the quality of finished garment.In this study, it has been focused on bending properties of fabrics produced from different spinning methods. Twenty-seven woven fabrics are produced using different types of spun yarns (combed, carded and open end spinning systems). Three different of woven structures (plain1/1, twill 2/2 and satin4) are used with three different weft densities (18,21 and 24).These fabrics have been tested on FAST-2 bending meter. From the results we can observed the fabrics obtained from combed spun yarns have the lower bending length and lower bending rigidity than carded spun yarns. And the fabrics obtained from the open end spun yarns have the highest bending length and bending rigidity.
