yarn, weft sett and kind of huck-a-back weave on water absorbance, abrasion
resistance in dry and wet states, and tensile and te.ar strengths of towelling
fabrics has been investigated. It has been observed that if the final count of
weft yarn is the same, the use of single yarn associated with lower sell leads
to a highly absorbent towelling fabric. Huck-a-back weave having relatively
longer warp floats than weft floats, using the same yarns and fabric
construction but higher ends then picks per inch, produces a fabric with
improved strength and absorbance.</span
