Özet
Pose - The purpose of this paper is to explain the yarn parameters and some finishing process Revised 31 January 2008 that can affect the abrasion resistance of socks in detail. Accepted 31 January 2008 Design/methodology/approach - The abrasion tests were made on socks produced from the most popular fibers (cotton, wool, PAC, PES, PA, and blends of these) by the Modificated Martindale method. The effects of fiber type, yarn count (for single and ply yam), combing process, softness process with silicone and mercerization process to the abrasion resistance were investigated. Findings - It was found that the use of coarse yarns, addition of polyester, polyamide fibers or elastane filaments to the structure and application of the mercerization process increase the abrasion resistance of the socks. However, the silicone softeners decrease this value. The resistance of wool socks is higher than acrylics. Originality/value - Socks, which are a necessary item of clothing, need to be comfortable, affordable and retain their quality throughout their life. The most significant problem is abrasion which can greatly reduce the material's life. To determine the parameters affecting the sock abrasion will be useful both for producer and for consumer.
