In a previous article (Ed.- Oct. '98), an account of an investigation into the effect of the scouring parameters (pH, temperature) on the dimensional properties of cotton interlock fabrics was presented. The relaxation procedures recommended by the International Institute for Cotton were followed to relax the samples. The reported results did not conform with IIC findings because of the tumbling treatment used to dry the samples. In this article, the point was further investigated, when the dimensions of the scoured samples were measured after flat drying, under water, and after tumble drying. It was found that the results before tumbling were generally in accord with these obtained after the fabrics had been tumbled. The obtained k values were slightly higher on fabrics after tumble drying than those measured either under water or after flat drying.
