AB - Fabric hand is defined as the human tactile sensory response towards fabric, which involves not only
physical but also physiological, perceptional and social factors. Fabric hand is one of the most important
characteristic of a fabric. This paper discusses the relationship between technical features of high counts
and high density fabrics and their hand evaluation. 13 samples of high counts and high density fabrics
were selected to be measured by the Kawabata Evaluation System (KES). The range of the mechanical
properties of high counts and high density fabrics was given. Using factor analysis with quartimax
rotation, 5 factors model was generated. The relationship between the 5 factors and the technical
features was shown by using correlation analysis. The study in this paper can offer references for the
quality control of high counts and high density fabric design.
