This study reports an investigation of the effect different cellulose materials and yarn feeding patterns on thermo-physiological comfort, sensorial serviceability/pilling ultraviolet properties. An interlock structure with a combination hydrophilic hydrophobic material was developed in such way that each prominent consecutive wales or courses. The feed pattern fabric overcomes limitation plaited single jersey fabrics. Cellulose – based natural regenerated fibres were used i.e cotton, model viscose rayon, as well synthetic fibre i.e. polyester for manufacturing samples. By comparing results, it became clear wale-wise alternate yarns provide better overall moisture management properties than course-wise. Similarly, handle pilling properties, provides Interlock fabrics TransDRY® Technology are liable use protective textiles, medical textiles other functional textiles/children’s clothing.
