Research of Water Absorption of Half-Woollen Worsted Fabrics Depending on Fiber Content and Structure Thereof

Abstract

The article discusses the effect of moisture of various temperatures on worsted fabrics and threads. An indicator such as water absorption of textile materials is investigated. It was found that water absorption increases with increasing water temperature, in which the studied threads and fabrics are maintained. Also, the structure of worsted fabrics and threads influence water absorption, namely: composition, weaving, surface density – for fabrics and composition, linear density and twist – for threads. For fabrics and threads with lycra content, water absorption is significantly higher than that for samples without it.
