	abstract = {This study aims to investigate the effects of different washing processes, twill directions, and yarn types on the
performance properties of denim fabrics. For this purpose, 100\% cotton elastane, 85\% cotton/15\% Modal elastane, and
85\% cotton/15\% Tencel elastane including denim fabrics were produced with two different weaves (3/1 Z and 3/1 S),
and four different industrial washing operations were applied to these denim fabrics. In addition, untreated fabrics (not
industrially washed) were used to compare the performance of the fabrics before and after industrial washing. The
highest warp-breaking strength values were observed in the rinse-washed fabrics, whereas the highest shrinkage,
elasticity, and rubbing fastness values were observed in the bleach-washed fabrics. In addition, it can be said that
industrial washing processes reduce the growth values of untreated fabrics and reduce the bagging during use. Although
the crystallisation degree of Tencel fibre is higher than that of Modal fibre, it was concluded that the use of Modal fibre
with cotton increased the strength values. In contrast, the use of Tencel fibre with cotton increased the elasticity and
rubbing fastness values of the denim fabrics.},
