In order to improve the coolness of wool worsted fabrics during summer use and expand their applications in short sleeved shirts,summer shorts,and work-wear,wool blended fabrics with good cooling effect and excellent wearing comfort were designed and developed in this paper by screening dyestuff with infrared reflection ability,and combining cool-touch fibers and moisture wicking finishing.Compared to conventional fabrics of the same quality,this fabric can cool down by 2-4℃under simulated sunlight irradiation conditions,and has excellent contact cooling sensation(Q-max value of 0.28 J/(cm2·s)and wicking effect(wicking height of over 12.5 cm).
