Abstract
The main objective of this work is to study the factors influencing the moisture absorption characteristics of terry towel fabrics based on 100% cotton fibres. Different moisture absorption properties studied in this research work are water absorption, absorption time, absorption rate (static absorption), dynamic, and vertical wicking. The results showed that the moisture absorption related behaviour of the terry towel fabrics were based on their fabric weight, thickness and pile yarn twist.
