The comfort of light-weight woven fabrics in the form of next-to-skin clothing is investigated
by wear trials and the forearm test. The wear trial in neutral environmental conditions shows
that light-weight wool and wool blend fabrics are generally less comfortable than the
summer polyester, cotton poplin, and polyester/cotton, fabrics tested in this study. In terms
of comfort, the main shortcoming of these light-weight wool fabrics is prickle. When the
environmental temperature is high, especially when the body is sweating, the comfort of
wool and wool blend fabrics is greatly reduced due to signifi cantly increased prickle. The
forearm test in neutral environmental conditions shows that fabric-evoked prickle decreases
with an increasing wool quality number, i.e., as the wool becomes finer. For light-weight
wool and wool blend woven fabrics proddced from 70s quality and coarser wools, there is
the potential problem of prickle when used as next-to-skin clothing materials.
