Abstract: At present,fabric softness assessment still needs to be improved.In this paper,the quantization and classification method of fabric softness were discussed.A 30 woven fabric sample space with a wide distribution was established by the combination of subjective and objective assessment.Comprehensive evaluation value of 12 mechanics indexes that calculated by the main factor analysis were used to quantify the fabric softness.The sample space was equally divided into 6 grades according to the comprehensive evaluation values,and a proper adjustment was carried out by handle evaluation.Moreover,the reasonable and objective of the fabric softness classification result was verified.
