Abstract
The effects of mean two-fold twist and of yarn irregularity upon the appraisal of pick-and-pick cloths are reported. The presence of fancy stripes has important consequences. The spacing of the stripes proves to be important when there is good colour contrast between stripes and ground, widely spaced stripes showing up yarn irregularities more than narrow stripes. With a small colour contrast, neither the stripe spacing nor the yarn irregularity (within the range of yarns used) has a consistent effect on the cloth assessment.
