Abstract
Abstract
Yarn wickability achieves high thermo-physiological comfort. Therefore, this paper aimed to investigate yarn wickability and analyze statistically factors affecting yarn wicking performance. Methodology consists of testing wicking height for ring spun yarn produced from three levels of fibre types and twist factors at two levels of doubling. Statistical tools such as ANOVA, T-test and Post-hoc tests analyzed the impacts on wicking heights. Findings showed that the Post-hoc test represented the variation between groups more accurately than ANOVA. Furthermore, a comparison of Bonferroni Alpha with T-test p-values revealed that yarn wicking was significantly affected by interactions of fibre type, doubling, and twist level.
