The aim of this study is to investigate the influences of composition of weft and warp yarns and structural properties of fabric such as weft density and weave type on air permeability, wicking, breaking strength, elongation at break of the worsted fabrics. For this purpose, 27 types worsted fabric samples with three different weft density, three different weave pattern and three different raw material composition were produced. The physical properties of worsted fabric samples were determined by relevant tests. The effect of fabric composition, weft density and weave pattern on performance properties of worsted fabrics were investigated and analyzed with variance analysis.
