Abstract: The performance of several woven ramie/cotton fabrics with different blending ratios are compared in the paper. The wearability of these n fabrics are analyzed and compared in terms of strength and elongation, drape, abrasion resistance, pilling resistance, wrinkle resistance, air and moisture permeability,and capillary effect and so on. It points out: ramie/cotton blended fabrics with higher ramie content have better moisture-absorbent and air permeability, pilling resistance, strength and elongation, but the poorer softness, drape, wrinkle resistance and abrasion resistance. When developing ramie/cotton blended fabric, we should determine the appropriate blending ratio according to the needs of enterprises and users.

Key words: blending ratio; moisture absorbency; ramie/cotton fabric; wearability
