Abstract :

An investigation on the performance of Tenun Pahang fabric properties using new yarns was conducted. Five types of yarns was used as weft which were Tencel, Bamboo, Spun Silk, Polyester, and Polyester Coolmax. All fabrics were woven using silk warp yarns. The new weft yarns were evaluated against Tenun Pahang made from 100 % silk. Seven properties were evaluated including weight, thickness, thread density, abrasion resistance, crease recovery, drapability, and stiffness. The results show that the Polyester Coolmax yarn gives the best properties in term of its density, abrasion resistance, stiffness, and crease recovery angle.
