description In this present paper, the wicking effect of cotton woven fabrics in different directions and wicking effect of its constituent yarns has been studied. Two different types of weaves have been examined to study the wicking performance. Increased fineness in yarns of ply and single structure shows lower wickability individually. However, when used in plain and twill weave samples, improvement of wicking occurs with an initial increase in yarn fineness, but further increase in fineness deteriorates the wickability of fabrics except the diagonal direction of twill design. The regression analysis has been done to show the relationship between fabric wicking and its constituent yarn wicking. Highly positive correlations between fabric and constituent yarns are observed in relation to wicking irrespective of fineness of yarns and direction of test. However, twill weave shows stronger relationship compared to plain weave.
