AATCC TM179-2023 Skew Change in Fabrics After Home Laundering
1. Purpose and Scope
1.1 This test method is used to determine change in skew of fabrics as a result of home laundering.
1.2 This test is applicable to all woven and knitted fabrics suitable for home laundering.
2. Principle
2.1 Marks are applied to fabric or garment specimens before laundering. The alignment of marks is measured after 2 standard laundering cycles. Percent skew is calculated and direction of skew recorded. A value close to zero indicates greater skew; the calculations in this method do not produce negative skew values.
