-Abstract
Both fabric appearance and garment comfort are considered the most important wearing characteristics demanded by consumers during daily life use of garments. For many years, predicting fabric properties have been investigated to evaluate the performance of fabrics during wearing. Therefore, this research work aims to invest the physical and mechanical properties of knitted fabrics using step wise regression to be able to estimate the performance of these fabrics during wear, Four different fabrics with different yarn blends of Egyptian cotton and modal were produced on the same knitting machine. The fabrics were finished by two different techniques the first one in the tubular form (rope form) and the second one in the open width form. Step wise regression was used to estimate the performance of these fabrics during wear. Finally, the desirability function was used to optimize the multiple response properties. The analysis of results shows that the modal is perfect to wear in summer; as it absorbs the sweat easily and allows the air flow due to its high air permeability.
