It is expected from a fabric applied with durable
softener agent, not only a smooth, slippery and soft touch but also durable
color even after a number of cycles of use and care. From this point of view,
at this study weft knitted fabrics were manufactured using Siro, ring and
open-end cotton yarns, bleached and dyed, followed by softening treatment with
silicone, cationic and nonionic softeners at 1 and 3% softener concentration
levels. Color strength and lightness values of the treated fabrics were evaluated
by considering color changes after abrasion. Since the loss of fibers from a
fabric surface during abrasion cycles causes prominent changes in the fabric’s
color, differentiation in the color that occur after a certain number of
abrasion cycles (2500, 5000, 7500, 10000) were also measured for evaluation of
the abrasion resistance of a fabric. Considering the yarn type and number of
abrasion cycles, interaction effects of those with softener type and softener
concentration on color strength and lightness were presented and discussed
separately.  From the results, it was observed that the color values
of fabrics after abrasion cycles are closely related to yarn type, softener
type, and concentration. The most significant changes in both L* and K/S values
were obtained after fabric were abraded 2500 cycles. Softener type, as well as
concentration, should be decided according to the target color shade prior to
coloration.
