For this aim nine different constructions of terry fabrics </div> <div>are woven with Ne 12/1, Ne 16/1 and Ne 20/1 100% carded cotton ring spun weft yarns in three different weft densities. Fabric samples </div> <div>are subjected to 5, 10, 20 and 40 washing cycles before undergoing the tests; subjective evaluation on preference and fabric objective </div> <div>measurements on softness and thickness. In order to understand the statistical importance of structural parameters and repeated </div> <div>laundering on the preference of woven terry fabrics, ANOVA is performed. It is seen that fabric structural parameters and repeated </div> <div>launderings effect the behaviors of the customers. Also the bending rigidity and thickness values of terry fabrics which are measured </div> <div>with objective methods are compared with subjective foundings. The correlations between subjective ratings and objective evaluations </div> <div>are significantly high. </div>}, number={4}, publisher={Ege University}
