Study on Effect of Picks per Inch on Fabric Properties

Woven fabric end uses can be roughly divided into industrial, household and apparels. Fabrics projected for apparels have more emphasis on their appearance and handling characteristics such as lustre, smoothness or roughness, stiffness or limpness and draping qualities. In this research paper mainly focused on air permeability, tear strength and flexural rigidity were taken into consideration. In the present work observations are made by changing the pick density in the plain woven cotton fabric
