Abstract

In this study, prickle sensation was investigated for wear fabrics having different compositions and physical surface characteristics using 1-7 rating scale. Rating score test for prickle sensory discomfort wear fabric test was conducted on 31 subjects. It was found that prickleness sensation arise during skin–fabric contact are mostly related to the fiber and surface roughness characteristics of fabrics. It was also found that there are highly significant correlation coefficients between the evaluation results of using the different body parts.
