N2 - Socks are the clothing preserving the foot in thermal neutrality and preventing foot from blister generating. The development of socks has been diversified like the type, materials, and function, etc. Socks with good quality are conducive to prevent foot disease or smelly odor from foot. The wearing comfort of socks can be affected by the fabric properties of air permeability. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the fabric parameters and air permeability of knitted socks fabric. The ventilation of socks fabric was measured by the KES-F8 automatic air permeability tester. It was found that the air permeability of fabric was negatively proportional to the content of cotton, yarn count and thickness, before washing. Meanwhile, washing was found to increase the air permeability.
