Abstract

Bilayer knitted fabrics have different types of yarns on the two sides and look like combining two layers of fabric into one. This study investigates the effects of yarn combinations in the bilayer structure on the tactile perception of each fabric surface and the warmth retention properties. 17 samples of cashmere, yak, camel, wool and polyester with two structures, bilayer connected with tuck sand spacer structures, were evaluated. Results showed that the yarn used on one side can influence the tactile sensation of the other side and the fabric as a whole. The Spacer structure shows higher thermal resistance than the bilayer structure. Replacing one layer of animal fibre in the spacer structure with polyester can increase the thermal resistance by 14.3-24.2%, enhancing thermal retention.
