Overall Moisture Management Capability (OMMC) and Accumulative One-way Transport Index (AOTI) along with wetting and spreading time of the top and bottom surfaces was measured on moisture management tester. The results were used as a basis to grade the fabric for its moisture transport behavior. It was observed that polyester/cotton blends have an overall higher accumulative one-way transport index and overall moisture management capability than 100% cotton fabric. Furthermore, an increase in the polyester content in the fabric resulted in a significant increase in the transport of moisture. However less number of warp and weft yarns in the blended fabric improved the overall moisture management capability of the fabric.
