Impact of yarn and fabric parameters on thermal comfort
Thermal comfort depends upon the heat and moisture transfer properties of fabric
Fabric composition plays a significant role in heat and mass transfer
Yarn is basic building block of fabric
Yarn structure defines the most of fabric characteristics

Yarn and its characteristics
Yarn:
“A continuous strand of twisted threads of natural or synthetic material, such as wool or nylon, used in weaving or knitting”. [The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language}

THERMAL COMFORT PROPERTIES OF SOME NEW YARNS
Study about the thermal comfort properties of polyester yarn was conducted by Marmarali et al [1].
A brief discussion is in the next pages:
Researchers have used: A. Tetra-channel polyester, B. High functional polyester fiber designed with
slots conduct to siphon effect
C. Patented blend of natural and synthetic fibres

Knitted fabric used for study
Single jersey fabrics were knitted produced by using :
A Type (150den), B Type (150den) and C Type (Ne30/1) yarns.
Samples were produced in three different tightness values in order to obtain tight, medium and loose fabrics.
Loop length values or stitch lengths (l) were kept at 4.2, 3.6 and 3.0 mm
Properly washed without using any detergent

Conclusion Thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal
absorptivity and air permeability are affected from tightness factor significantly.
The looser fabrics possess high insulation and high air permeability values, also give warmer feelings.
The comfort test results indicate that the fabrics knitted using C Type yarns have the highestair permeability besides better thermal resistance values and they give warmer feeling with lower absorptivity values.
On the other hand A and B Type fabrics have similar thermal comfort properties with better relative water vapor permeability [1].

Comfort Characteristics of Fabrics Made of Compact Yarns
This study was conducted by Das et al. [2] to compare EliTe compact yarns and normal yarns.
A brief description of this study is given the following slides.

Measuring parameters 1. Fabric Thickness was measured under specified pressure of 20
gf/cm2 by using Essdiel thickness tester.
2. Fabric Weight per Unit Area by cutting and weighing of fabric
3. Air Permeability was measured by TEXTEST Air permeability Tester (FX3300)
4. Alambeta was used to measure: Thermal conductivity Thermal absorptivity Thermal diffusivity Thermal resistance Qmax Sample thickness

Conclusion [2] 1. Fabrics developed from EliTe® compact yarns
are slightly
thinner and better air permeability as compared to fabrics
made from normal yarns.
Fabrics developed from EliTe® yarns have higher values of thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, and qmax as compared to the fabrics developed from normal yarns where as the thermal resistance values are lowe

Fabrics made from normal yarns shown slightly lesser values of MVTR than the fabrics made from EliTe® compact yarns.
Wicking then fabrics made from EliTe® yarns show better wickability than the fabrics made from normal yarns except for fabric samples A and D.
Over all if we analyze the contribution of the EliTe® compact yarns in the fabrics, then we find that the EliTe® yarns has certainly proved to be beneficial to improve the comfort of the cotton fabrics.[2]
