Abstract
Terry fabric is a kind of pile fabrics which is a soft, usually cotton fabric with loops which must have required usage properties such as higher water absorption, bacterial resistance, high wet strength, ability to dye well, good colorfastness, wash ability, soft hand, hypoallergenic, low cost, and easy availability compared with other types of textile fabrics as the end uses of terry fabrics require this. Terry fabric is the most popular fabric for home textiles like towels. Terry cloth products are exposed frequently to intensive washing. They also must be resistant to water, alkalis, surfactants, and rubbing. Terry fabrics are produced by three yarn systems: pile warp, ground warp weft yarns. The pile can be formed on one side or on both sides of a terry fabric by pile warp yarns. Pile structure mainly affect the structure and usage properties of terry fabrics. The main parameters to be considered to design a terry fabric are type of ground warp yarns, type of pile warp yarns, type of weft yarns, raw material used, and pile structure. One application of terry fabrics is pilgrimage (IHRAM) terry cloths. It should have required properties like quick Absorption and Evaporation of sweat, Softness, Water vapor Permeability, Antibacterial, Dirt and grease Resistance.
This study concerns with studying the effect of pile height, weft material and pile warp material on the functional properties and performance of pilgrimage (IHRAM) terry towel samples by using different pile heights (5.5m-6.5mm-7.5mm), Bamboo pile warp material and different types of weft materials (Cotton- Bamboo- Lyocell). The properties of the executed samples (9 samples) were investigated and the results were compared with a control sample from the Egyptian market (100% cotton). The results showed that using Bamboo pile warp, regenerated cellulosic materials such as Bamboo and Lyocell as wefts with pile heights of 5.5mm and 6.5mm improved the functional properties and performance of pilgrimage (Ihram) terry towels.
