Cotton covered/polyester staple-core yarns, recently developed at the Southern Regional Research Center, and conventional 100% cotton yarns of equivalent size were woven and knitted into various fabrics for evaluation. The woven fabrics were tested for abrasion resistance and tear tested for bursting strength, airpermeability, pilling and tensile strength. The knitted fabrics were resistance, dimensional stability, and DP rating (after a light application of DP finish on the heat set fabric). staple-core yarns, which were only modestly stronger than equivalent 100% cotton yarns, produced fabrics remarkably improved in all the important properties when compared to the fabrics made with conventional 100% cotton yarns. Fabrics from staple-core yarns should therefore be useful where strength, weight, durability, abrasion resistance, dimencional stability, easy care, and comfort are desirable or critical.
