Abstract:

The goal of this research is to compare the quality characteristics of four distinct terry towel fabric samples, such as Flat Back Terry, Both Side Terry, Zero Twist Terry, and Sheared Terry reactive dyed samples. In this work, the focus was on dyeing terry towel fabric with reactive dyes in three different shades: orange, green, and gold. After evaluating the color difference, fastness to washing, Rubbing, and Perspiration (acid/alkaline) was assessed, and the individual shades were compared among different terry fabric samples. It was found that the results of different types of terry towel fabrics and other parameters were almost similar in terms of shades.

Keywords:

Flat Back Terry, Both Side Terry, Zero Twist Terry, SHEARED Terry.
