| description | In this study, the differences of the fabric properties produced from wool and mohair fibers were investigated. By using 100% wool yarns and 100% mohair yarns separately in warp direction and the same yarns in the weft direction with different sequences, six types of fabrics were produced. The handle properties of the fabrics were tested with SiroFAST. Thickness of the fabrics made of mohair fibers was higher than that of the wool fabrics and the fabric thickness increased as the mohair proportion in the composition of the fabrics increased. Due to the higher volume of mohair yarns, bending rigidity both in the warp and weft directions of the fabrics produced with 100% mohair fibers was higher than that of the fabrics produced with 100% wool fibers. Elongation values of the wool fabrics both in the weft and the warp directions were higher than those of the fabrics produced with mohair yarns. The highest shear rigidity was obtained with the 100% wool fabric. The results of relaxation shrinkage and hygral expansion showed that there was no consistent relationship found between the results of the fabrics with regard to the fiber type. |
