The purpose of this study is to examine the seam-strength and the sewing shrinkage ratio of natural fabrics.
The results oberved in this study are as follow :
1) Among cotton, hemp and wool, hemp shows the highest seam strength by weft direction, on the other hand, cotton shows the lowest seam strength by warp direction.
2) In angular respect, cotton and hemp show high seam strength by bias and weft direction, while wool shows high seam strength by bias and warp direction.
3) The babric elongation of cotton, hemp and wool is high in bias direction.
4) Initial sewing shrinkage ratio is high in all fabrics, especially in wool.
