From experiments on the in-plane capillary water flow within these fabrics and the yarns obtained from
the corresponding fabric, the wicking coefficients of fabrics and yarns were determined. The wicking
coefficient was higher for lower weave density because of the effective capillary radius. The results for
four kinds of yarns showed that the 100% cotton yarn and cotton fabric had the highest wicking rate.

discussed the effects of inter-fibre space and yarn twist on the wicking influence factor and found that
the wicking rate is higher for larger inter-fibre space and yarns with fewer twists.},
