| Summary: | Moisture management is one of the essential properties required for knitted fabrics. Generally, the moisture management fabrics regulate the heat and moisture by maintaining the body temperature and keep the wearer cool and comfortable. Cotton fibres are known for their excellent properties in clothing to be worn in a normal situation by managing a limited quantity of sweat. During any sports activity, the human body dissipates a greater amount of sweat for an extended period of time and cotton fibre blended with polyester is generally recommended for its low moisture absorption and durability. In recent years, polyester fibres are most widely used for sportswear applications due to their better moisture transmission properties. This study mainly focuses on the influence of core-sheath ratio, twist and loop length on the moisture management properties of the knitted fabrics made from cotton/polyester core-spun yarns. © 2022 Ege Universitesi.
