Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe, 11(3), 38-41.1230-3666http://hdl.handle.net/11452/25161In this study, we have examined the effect of chenille yarn properties, pile length, twisting rate, and weaving construction on the abrasion resistance of upholstery fabrics. different acrylic chenille yarns have been produced at three different twist levels with 0.7, 0.8 and 1.0 mm callipers. These yarns were then used in three different weaving constructions as weft yarn. All the samples were tested to observe abrasion resistance on the Martindale Abrasion Tester. The results indicate that twist levels, pile lengths, and weaving constructions have significant effect on the abrasion resistance of upholstery fabrics.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMaterials scienceAbrasion resistanceChenille yarnPile lengthTwist levelAbrasionErosionWear resistanceWeavingWoolYarnAbrasion testerChenille yarnsUpholstery fabricsWeft yarnFabric propertyUpholsteryWeaveWoven fabricYarn propertyPilesArticle0001889351000082-s2.0-15427513433841113Materials science, textilesFancy Yarn; Fiber; Multi-Thread
