Abstract: The yarn spinning method and the utilised raw material play a significant role in determining the comfort properties of fabrics. Spinning methods, such as conventional ring, mechanical compact, and Siro spinning, influence the yarn’s structure, uniformity, and surface characteristics, which in turn affect fabric properties like moisture management and thermal comfort. This study explores the moisture management and thermal comfort properties of knitted fabrics produced from different blended yarns spun on three distinct spinning techniques: Conventional ring, mechanical compact, and Siro spinning. For analysing how different spinning methods and yarn types influence some comfort properties, Moisture Management Test (MMT), Alambeta Tests and air permeability tests were performed in the context of this research. For the statistical analyses, a Two-way ANOVA test was performed in order to investigate the effect of yarn spinning method and yarn type on moisture management, thermal comfort and air permeability properties of knitted samples. The findings revealed that spinning methods and fibre blends significantly impact the properties of the fabric. The research aims to provide insights into the relationship between yarn structure and fabric behaviour, offering valuable guidance for textile development and innovation.
