The Effect of Cashmere Fibres on the Thermal Comfort Properties of Worsted Fabrics
Abstract
In this study, the effects of cashmere fibre using on the air permeability, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, thermal absorptivity and thermal resistance of the worsted fabrics were investigated in detail. For this purpose, worsted fabrics hav ing five different cashmere/wool blend were produced systematically. The test results have revealed the using of the cashmere fibre in the structure of worsted fabrics causes better thermal comfort in terms of end user.
