Abstract

Light clothes represent a very important sector in textile industry, and in our practical life all across the year , that is they are worn in summer  on their own , and in winter  and other seasons as undergarments to keep us warmed .  This study takes a special interest in the elements of weave construction of light clothes, and the effect of these elements on both natural and mechanical characteristics required for this type of cloth sustaining the same weight of the square meter .
   Fixed weight is achieved utilizing two variables; different counts of wefts, and different densities . That is accomplished by using the mathematical methodology of sustaining the weight of these counts using different densities . Another variable is added to the study which is the material of the weft used .  Also, use the same type, material and density of the warp. So,  the same specifications are used for all the samples . These specifications is 60/2 cotton, 32 thread/ cm.
