The aim of this study was to identify the tactile dimensions in the discrimination of light-weight wool fabrics. The participants judged the overall similarity between 21 light-weight wool fabrics using free sorting tasks. The fabrics were evaluated using active touch with limited exploratory procedure. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) was used to generate the perceptual space, revealing one dime...

The influence of different experimental conditions on the thermal comfort behavior of polyester-viscose and polyester-cotton ring and MJS yarn fabrics has been studied. The results show that the yarn structure and the fibre cross-sectional shape have a large influence on improving the thermal comfort of woven fabrics. The fabrics made from MJS yarns perform better than those of the ring yarn fa...
