This book examines the physical testing of textiles in the form of fibre, yarn and fabric. To specify a property in a material it is necessary to specify the method of test. Therefore, the emphasis throughout is on using standard and reproducible tests. After an introductory explanation of sampling and measurement, the author explores the effects of moisture on textiles; fibre dimensions; yarn tests for linear density, twist, evenness and hairiness; tensile strength; dimensional stability and serviceabili
