Effect of Laundry Washing Produced on Scratchiness of Worsted Woven Wool Fabric

The fourteen kinds of woven wool fabric including three species of shrink resistant finish sliver,wool polyester blended fabric and common pure wool were loundry washed.The scratchiness difference before and after laundry washing were evaluated after forearm testing fabrics under specified moisture temperature condition.The result shows that the wool/polyester fabric after laundry washing presents such an outstanding difference that the scratchiness is enhanced distinctly,but the fabric after shrink resistant finish and ordinany all-wool cloth make indistinctive difference on scratchiness after laundry washing.
