Designing and engineering clothing for an intended end use necessitates careful selection of fibre, yarn and fabric
constructional parameters. Ideal clothing comfort can be achieved by designing clothing, considering high thermal resistance
for protection from cold, low resistance to water vapour transfer in mild thermal stress conditions and rapid transfer of
vapour and liquid moisture under high thermal stress conditions and rapid transfer of vapour and liquid moisture under hugh
thermal stress conditions. Several studies have been reported on the influence of various fibre, yarn and fabric constructional
variables on comfort properties of woven and knitted fabrics and the findings show that the fibre, yarn and fabric variables
strongly influence the thermo-physiological properties of fabrics and determine the suitability for their particular end use.
Several yarn variables, like yarn twist, yarn count, yarn spinning system and yarn types , have been reported to affect the
properties of textiles. Change in any of these parameters ultimately changes the yarn structure, which, in turn, depends on
the fibre geometry. Distriution of fibres in yarn dictates thermal as well as moistre transfer properties of fabrics. Fabric
structure, thickness, cover factor, aerial desnity, bulk density, fabric porosity and finishing treatments affect the thermal and
moisture management properties and hence determine the comfort properties of textiles. This paper reports a detailed study
on the comfort characteristics of textiles and factors at interplay.
