Abstract
Socks comfort has great significance in our daily life. This significance even increased when we underwent a work of
low or high activity. It causes the sweating of our body with different rates. In this study, terry socks with differential
fibre composition were produced on the same knitting machine with homogeneous yarn linear densities and wetted to
a saturated level. Then after successive intervals of conditioning, the socks are characterized by thermal resistance,
thermal absorbitivity and relative cooling effect in dry and wet states. Hydrophobic have best results followed by
semi hydrophilic and hydrophilic. Thermal resistance in dry state measured on Thermal Foot Model has a correlation
(r²) of 0.64 and 0.55 is observed with Permetest and Alambeta, respectively.
