Abstract

In this work, investigation of hand parameters’ extent of polyester and blended cotton/bamboo fabrics was performed. It
was established that tenuous specific differences, which depend on fabric end finish, could be determined using KTUGriff-
Tester. It was revealed that bamboo fiber interblended into cotton fabric basically changed the scale of main hand
parameters as well as their extent that was influenced by fabric washing and chemical treatment processes. As in other
cases, the most sensitive hand parameter, i. e. complex hand rate Q, was established. If compared to analogous
parameters of control specimens, its extent (with alternating finishing conditions) as often as not reached 5 times.
