Abstract : Union fabrics characterize differently due to its manufacturing principle. A union fabric made of natural fibres is always the chief concern of the researchers. This study deals with the effect of three important weaving parameters like type of fibre used as weft on fixed cotton warp, fabric structure and reed count on fabric stiffness considering bending length, flexural rigidity and bending modulus. Taguchi methodology using L9 Orthogonal Array is used in this study. Effect of factors and their levels have been studied with S/N ratio duly justified by ANOVA calculation. The best combinations of factor level which yield maximum performance have been detected and validated efficiently.

Key words - ANOVA, Fabric Stiffness, Orthogonal Array, Taguchi Methodology, Union fabric.
