The scratchiness property of natural textile fibres were analysed to determine whether the fabrics would cause scratchiness by calculating their critical bending load of axial compressing.

Research on mitigated prickle sensation of wool fabrics;

Objective evaluation for the effect of thin/thick wool fibers on the prickle sensation evoked by wool fabrics;

Study on fabric-evoked prickle in worsted spun wool fabric;

Research on the Mechanism of Fabric Prickle;

Study on prickle of silk/ramie/natural bamboo fiber blend knitted fabric;

This paper discusses the causes and mechanism of scratchiness of the ramie fabric, introduces treating methods for improving or eliminating the scratchiness and suggests that further study on this respect should be carried on.

The interweave fabric of wool and silk has some excellent properties, while it has scratchiness and pilling propensity because of wool fiber's rigidity.

The interweave fabric of wool and tussah sil k features light and luxurious, but it feels some scratchiness.

The horny protruding fibers in a fabric is generally regarded as the underlying mechanism in fabric evoked prickle.

The neurophysiological mechanism of the fabric-evoked prickle and even skin reaction when some clothes worn next to skin were introduced in this paper, the factors which influencing the prickle were analyzed, several methods of easing prickle of ramie fabric were discussed, and some conclusions were given.
