Abstract

Woven wool fabrics can be different due to their material details e.g. fibre diameter and length, yarn structure, weaving construction and finishing method. These fabric production variables result in many kinds of fabrics ranging in appearance, texture, handle and uses. In this study, we focused on the diversity wool tweed fabrics resulting from various kinds of finishing treatment. We prepared fifteen kinds of 2/2 twill wool fabrics using coarse wool yarn and fabric specifications and different final finishing processes. They were compared with the original fabric with normal, standard finishing for their handle, appearance and mechanical properties to determine Kansei control potential. We measured the mechanical properties of these fabrics and calculated the primary hand values, THV and TAV. And these values were related with those of subjective evaluations. This result can be applicable to all wool fabrics and can create leather touch, silk-like and linen-like wool fabrics.
