Abstract
The relation between fibre crimp and fabric quality is investigated for various fabrics of different grades. It is found that fibres taken from fabrics of good quality have a high crimp level and that fibre crimp plays an important role in yarn extensibility, compressibility, and fabric extensibility and improves fabric quality. Correlation between fibre crimp and primary handle is also surveyed, and it is shown that NUMERI (smoothness) and FUKURAMI (fullness and softness) are strongly correlated with the fibre crimp.Keywords
