Abstract: | The aim of this study was to develop new pattern denim fabrics and characterize the dimensional, the abrasion and pilling
properties of these fabrics. Furthermore, tensile and tear strengths of these fabrics were determined. The potential enduses
of pattern denim fabrics were evaluated by comparing the test results with traditional denim fabrics. The produced fabrics
were classified as ‘Design group I’ and ‘Design group II’. In design group I, the fabrics had small structural patterns whereas
the structural patterns of the fabrics of design group II were large. The dimensional properties and weights of developed
pattern denim fabrics in both of the design groups were different in terms of weft densities, structural pattern sizes which
influenced the numbers, directions and distributions of warp-weft interlacement. The abrasion behaviours of the traditional
denim fabrics and the fabrics with large-small structural patterns were similar. However, it was determined that the fabrics
with large and small patterns were abraded on the earlier abrasion cycles compared to the traditional denim fabrics. The pilling
resistances of the fabrics not only depended on the hairiness levels of the yarns used during weaving, but also on the pattern
sizes of the fabrics. The small structural pattern fabrics showed more resistance to pilling than those of the large structural
pattern fabrics. There was a decrease on the warp and weft tensile strengths of the large structural pattern fabrics in comparison
with the traditional denim fabrics. The average tear strengths of the large structural pattern denim fabrics on the warp course
were higher than those of the traditional denim fabrics while the tear strengths of the large pattern and traditional denim
fabrics on the weft course were similar to each other. The end-uses of the newly developed structural pattern denim fabrics
were recommended as home textile. |
