Abstract:

To study the style and wool-like effect of dope-dyeing wool-like fabrics, a new kind of color mixtured wool-like fabrics which are blended with undyed cotton fiber, bamboo pulp fiber and dope-dyeing polyester fiber on a different scale as our research object. KES-F fabric evaluation system was used to investigate all the mechanical properties of the samples and handle style values of samples were calculated. Morever, how the proportion of ingredients or structure parameters impact the handle was discussed. In addition, we selected two pure wool fabrics as control, analysising the degree of correlation about the handle of samples according to gray correlative method. The results show that the dope-dyeing polyester/cotton/bamboo pulp fiber blended and color mixtured wool-like fabrics have a high gray correlation degree and similar handle with pure wool fabrics, owning strong woolly style.

Key words: dope-dyeing, handle, wool-like fabric, gray correlation, fabrie style
