In the second part of the study, 3/1 left-hand twill denim fabrics were woven with different filling yarns. The yarn characteristics are correlated to filling tension. Experimental results have shown that yarn count, twist multiplier, hairiness, friction coefficient and other yarn properties have effects on filling tension and filling tension affects the fabric properties. Fabric properties — fabric weight, thickness, air permeability, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, drapeability, stiffness, wrinkle recovery, tear strength and tensile strength — were tested. It was found that tension had significant effects on some fabric properties. The relationships between fabric properties and filling tension were established.

Key Words: air-jet weaving • denim fabric • yarn properties • yarn tension
