This study examines the effect of different patterns on aesthetic properties, air permeability characteristics and mechanical performance of woven fabrics constructed with 100% cotton ring spun yarns. Weaving process were proceeded by using 28/2 Ne combed warp and 32/2 Ne carded weft yarns with identical manufacturing parameters. Fabrics with 5 dissimilar patterns were obtained and 5 measurements were done for each pattern type. Average yarn floats, crimp percentage and yarn settings were calculated and fabric thickness, abrasion resistance, air permeability and bi-directionally tensile strengths of these fabrics were tested. Test results showed that increasing the numbers of floating yarns made fabric more air-permeable but less resistant against to applied mechanical forces. Besides, it caused to increase in fabric thickness. All test results were statistically evaluated by ANOVA and Duncan comparison tests and it was seen that the effect of weave pattern was at significance level of p<0.001. Air permeability characteristics of wovens can be easily and inexpensively arranged by pattern effect. In order to satisfy mechanical and functional specifications, further studies should be performed on panama woven structures with different yarn floats.
