摘要

Comfort issue for a saree is of great importance, as it is a popular and prestigious outfit and normally worn close to the body for extended periods. This paper presents a study of comfort properties along with mechanical performance of a saree fabric by mixing two different counts in weft yarn. The standard fabric (SF) was woven with a 74 Ne warp yarn and a 60 Ne weft yarn. Variations were then incorporated into the pattern based on the principle of weft mixing by introducing 40 Ne yarn in the weft direction. The weft-mixed variant fabric SF(2:2) improves the tactile comfort, measured by the fabric touch tester (FTT) indices while the other patterns show a reduction. Although a drop in mechanical strength was observed in the weft-mixed variant fabrics compared to the standard fabric, the use of coarser count weft yarns could offer a potential reduction in the overall production costs. This suggests a viable trade-off among comfort, strength, and cost in the design of woven fabrics.
