The use of elastane yarn in the knitted fabrics is a common practise in order to improve the elasticity of fabrics, to improve the ability to stretch and recovery, and to achieve the best performance during the entire use period of the garment. Plain knit and cotton/elastane plain knit fabrics having different elastane ratios were comparatively investigated in terms of the properties determining cloth comfort such as air permeability and water vapour permeability, and pilling with the study. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the elastane content reduces the comfort of the garment and increases the resistance to the pilling, 2x1 cotton/elastane plain knit fabric does not have the clear effect on these properties compared to 1x1 cotton/elastane plain knit fabric and full elastane plain knit fabric, and consequently it is not feasible to use because of its higher cost instead of 1x1 cotton/elastane plain knit fabric in terms of comfort and it can be preferred only in terms of pilling resistance.
