“…Among the properties improved by yarn folding, those of the greatest importance for the performance of textile materials are yarn evenness (uniform diameter), strength (and strength variation), liveliness (the reduction of residual torque), and yarn’s surface characteristics (hairiness). The characteristics of folded yarns have drawn the attention of many scientists from the 1950s to today (Bennett & Postle, 1979; Honold & Grant, 1961; Milosavljevic, Tadic, & Stankovic, 1998; Park & Oh, 2003; Skau, Honold, & Boudreau, 1958; Xia, Xu, & Wang, 2012). However, there is a serious lack of study about the effects of folded yarns on the properties of textile materials, especially those concerned with comfort properties.…”
