The Wear Resistance of Socks Made of Differently Spun Modal Yarns

The applicability of modal fibers, which provide exceptional contact comfort and have better hydrophilicity than cotton, in knitting of socks is insufficiently researched. Therefore, in this paper wear resistance of three groups of men’s socks, made in the highest percentage of single ring, rotor and air-jet spun modal yarns of the same linear density in full plating by textured polyamide 6.6 yarns of different linear density were evaluated. Evaluation of socks wear resistance was carried out by investigation of propensity to surface pilling and abrasion resistance of plain knits sampled from the leg and the foot parts, both before and after five repeated washing and drying cycles, using Martindale abrasion and pilling tester according to the standardized test methods.
