“…39 The sleeve trials conducted by Doyle et al 39 used the innovative approach of comparing the wearer's perceptions of a test sleeve worn on one arm with the wearer's perceptions to a control sleeve worn on the other arm. The approach of using paired comparisons for sensory evaluation of textiles is not new, as Lau et al 40 used polo shirts made of two fabrics, one for each side of the body. In any experiment that includes some biological aspect, such as people or animals, there will always be variance due to the treatments (such as different fabrics) and variance due to people or animals.…”

Previous investigations have shown that prickle discomfort sensations of wool fabrics are primarily determined by the mean fiber diameter of the wool. It is also known that differences in wool fiber curvature (crimp) affect softness of handle of greasy wool and of wool textiles. In a replicated experiment, we investigated if wearers could detect the effect of using 17 mm superfine wool of low (74 /mm) or high (114 /mm) fiber curvature, and when the wools were blended with 17 mm cashmere (fiber curvature 49 /mm) in differing proportions, on four comfort sensations. Eight single jersey knitted fabrics were assessed under a controlled protocol using forearm sleeves made of the test fabric and a control fabric. Data (37 sensorial assessments of high curvature wool fabrics; 38 sensorial assessments of low curvature wool fabrics) were analyzed using linear mixed model analysis (restricted maximum likelihood), which included fixed effects for wool type and blend ratio and a random effect for participant. The use of a control sleeve fabric reduced variance due to participant effects by providing an anchor for each sensation over time. Wool fiber curvature affected participant assessment of breathability, comfort, feel after exercise (damp/dry) and skin feel (prickly/soft), with preferred values associated with high curvature (crimp) superfine wool. Increasing the proportion of cashmere in fabrics increased skin feel (better assessed softness). Skin feel was strongly associated with the evaluation of the fabrics by the Wool ComfortMeter and with increasing hairiness of yarns.

“…With heavy exercise and sweating, moisture related sensations (non-absorbency, clinginess, and dampness) are critical in determining overall discomfort. Sportswear should therefore have excellent water absorption properties (Lau et al, 2002). © Woodhead Publishing Limited, 2011…”

“…Curvature and protuberance increase bring about more pressure on the clothes. This indicates that putting load on a specific part of body with more eminence (such as the leg), is more comfortable than other parts which have less eminence (such as the wrist) [11,12].…”

Comfort is one of the most important factors influencing the performance of apparel such as knitted elastic clothing, woven elastic shirts and elastic velvet fabrics. The compressive behavior of knitted elastic fabric affects the excellence in comfort. This study aimed to investigate the comfort of knitted elastic fabric based on compressive load. For this purpose, fabrics were produced with three different stitch densities (loop sizes), and compressive load tests were applied at three various penetration depths. According to these parameters, 9 fabric samples were prepared. Each sample was tested 30 times; therefore, the total number of examined cases was 270. The compressive load was measured using special designed tools, which were installed on the Instron tensile tester. The effects of penetration depth and loop size on compressive load were evaluated by using the CCD statistical model with four repeats of each experiment. The results indicate that the loop size and penetration depth have significant influence on the compressive load, which is modeled by a third order equation with R2 of 0.999 between applied model and experimental data. Consequently, the comfort could be predicted in terms of loop size and penetration depth. Utilizing this method can help apparel manufactures produce knitted elastic clothing with high comfort, according to the end use of garment.
