It is observed that after processing, pilling propensity, flexural rigidity, crease recovery, drape and tensile strength of the fabrics improve considerably. For similar pick density the plain woven fabrics have higher pilling resistance and breaking strength but exhibit lower crease recovery and flexibility than twill and satin fabrics<span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:" calibri","sans-serif";="" mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"times="" new="" roman";="" mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;="" mso-bidi-font-family:"times="" roman";color:#161616;mso-ansi-language:en-us;="" mso-fareast-language:en-us;mso-bidi-language:ar-sa"="">.</span></span>
