Abstract

Wool Comfort Meter (WCM) values have been shown to correlate well with the average prickle rating from subjective wearer trials. The ability of the device to predict the prickle rating has been demonstrated using a range of different fabrics. The consistency of the Wool Comfort Meter value was examined over a range of different temperature and humidity conditions. Both temperature and humidity were shown to affect the Wool Comfort Meter value in the range from 20°C to 30°C and between 50% and 75% relative humidity. This has confirmed the requirement to do prickle rating testing in a controlled environment laboratory.
