Cover Story: The knitting process offers a wide range of possibilities for modifying fabric structure, making it particularly suitable for high-performance garments and technical applications. In this study, we investigate how yarn and fabric structure influences wicking and drying behavior in single-jersey fabrics made from polyester yarns through a combined experimental approach. Our results show that fabric drying time and rate are directly linked to the macroscopic spread of liquid, whereby large inter-yarn pores slow spreading, dense fine-filament yarns limit convective drying, and textured yarns show higher specific drying rates. These findings provide comprehensive insight into the interplay between fabric structure and its wicking and drying behavior, which is crucial for the development of functional knitted fabrics.
