Abstract
In this study, the drape coefficient of woven fabrics including metal wrapped hybrid yarns in two different weave types as plain and 3/1 twill were determined by both cut-weigh and image analysis methods and compared with the fabrics woven without metal wire in order to evaluate the ability of these fabrics to be manufactured into a garment. A strong correlation was found between drape coefficient values calculated by using cut-weigh method and image analysis method. While the difference between the drape coefficient values of the fabrics including metal wire wrapped hybrid yarns and the fabrics without metal wire calculated by cut-weigh method was found to be insignificant, based on the results of image analysis method, drape coefficient values of the fabrics without metal wire were observed to be lower than that of the fabrics including metal wire wrapped hybrid yarns. The effect of the weave type on drape coefficient values of the fabric samples was found to be significant, whereas it was stated that metal wire type did not have any significant impact on drape coefficient.
