Abstract: In order to develop aroma finished worsted fabrics, the paper carried out a study on its fragrance retention and wearability, comparing and analyzing the fragrance retention of the worsted wool fabrics with different fragrance levels after storage and washing, and researching its anti-pilling performance, air permeability, moisture permeability, and drapability. Results showed that although aroma finished worsted fabrics have excellent fragrance retention, their washing resistance is poor. It is recommended to reduce washing times, and store in a sealed place to maintain the persistence of fragrance. Compared with the original fabric, the anti-pilling performance of aroma finished worsted fabrics are improved, but its air permeability, moisture permeability, and drapability are reduced. Its stiffness is improved; therefore, it is suitable for use as outer garment fabrics.

Key words: worsted fabric; aroma finishing; the rate of fragrance; wearability
