Wrinkling Behavior of Wool Fabrics

A multiple-pleat test has been developed for measuring the change in wrinkling properties of light to medium-weight wool fabrics following various finishing and chemical treatments. Accordion pleats are inserted in a fabric sample (6 in. X 3 in.) by two meshing sets of 30° wedges under uniform load. After holding under the required conditions, the sample is removed and the average pleat angle is measured optically at three intervals over a period of one day.The complete wrinkling behavior is given by two terms, the percentage wrinkle recovery WR at a specified time (usually 15 min) and the recovery rate RR (WR change per unit log time). A sequence of short conditioning and pleating times at 85% RH and 30°C, with recovery at 65% RH and 21°C, is used to develop a large wrinkling effect. The method requires fewer samples than conventional 180°-fold methods and is more versatile under the specified testing conditions. Results show that the change in wrinkling properties during storage or after steam-pressing must not be overlooked in interpreting the results.

The making-up properties of several wool fabrics, differing in structure and finish, have been evaluated and compared with various mechanical properties of the fabrics that were considered to govern their behaviour when they were made into a man's suit, both in the making-up process and in the subsequent life of the garment. The making-up properties were evaluated by the operatives concerned, who classified the fabrics according to the ease with which they could be handled in making-up and their appearance in the finished garment.From the relations observed between evaluated and measured properties, recommendations are made for altering the measurable fkbric properties in order to effect improvements in the evaluated properties.
