İbrahim and Kaynak, H. Kübra}, keywords={Cashmere, cotton, air permeability, water vapor permeability, porosity, vortex spinning}, abstract={In the context of this study, it is intended to investigate the effects of cashmere/cotton ratio in yarn and fabric density on permeability properties of knitted fabrics. The yarn samples were produced with three different ratios as; 95-5% cotton-cashmere, 90-10% cotton-cashmere and 85-15% cotton-cashmere via vortex spinning system. Then, the yarn samples were knitted with three different loop length values for producing the fabrics as loose, medium and tight structures. In doing so, nine fabric samples were produced. Air permeability and water vapour permeability of these samples were tested as comfort related properties. As a result of the study, it is observed that higher air permeability and lower water vapour permeability values can be obtained by using higher cashmere ratio in yarn structure.}, number={57}, publisher={Dokuz Eylul University}
