Abstract
The authors of the article are presenting an innovated method of measuring the angle of recovery. The method of measuring was designed to grasp more realistically creasing of textiles when they are worn. The next part of the article is dealing with the evaluation of the influence of material of the textile on its creasing. First the initial speed of the angle of recovery was analysed (at the first five seconds) and, further, the role of elastic, viscoelastic and plastic deformations formed in the textiles during creasing, was evaluated. The highest speed of recovery of the textile in the first five seconds had the woollen textile, followed by the cotton fabric of plain weave with symmetrically arranged sett.
