**7. Conclusion**

The cotton fabrics presented in this chapter are only small fractions, which are produced globally for several applications. Absorbency and wicking are the key factors while producing or engineering a fabric for particular end uses such as sports, medical and other technical applications. Therefore, wickability of yarn and fabric has been studied critically as it is completely governed by their structure primarily. Therefore, even minor differences in structure can affect wicking height in both yarn and fabric. Increased fineness diminishes wickability in both ply and single yarn structures separately, but when employed in fabric structures, increased yarn fineness improves wicking [44]. Based on scientific experiments, uniquely presented correlation matrices have expressed the interrelation between cotton fabric and its constituent yarns showing strong correlation but varying nature due to differences in structure, direction of measurement, etc. Hence, these correlations can be used as a quick predictor of cotton fabric wicking based on the measured wicking of their constituent yarns for future research. Further research includes the study of absorbency and wicking with various solvents, temperature, and humidity for wide range of textile materials using these correlations with some modified equations.
