The purpose of this paper is to show how the yarns used in chain stitch influenced the hand of knitted tapes for fasteners. For this purpose, we made experimental tapes that differed only in the yarn of chain stitch, and the hand of tapes was evaluated by the paired comparison method. Furthermore, we measured the mechanical properties of the tapes, and the relationship between the sensory values for hand and the mechanical properties was studied by correlation analysis. The results are as follows. (1) As a result of the analysis of variance for mean preference scores of each adjective, it was found that the hand of tape with chain stitch made with different yarns was evaluated using the adjectives "shittori, smooth, flat, easy to slide, soft, and elastic". (2) As a result of correlation analysis between the thermal properties of the yarns used in chain stitch and the mechanical properties of the tapes, the mean of the bending rigidity (BM) and the mean of the bending hysteresis (2HBM) were positively correlated with the dry heating shrinkage tension at 170℃, and the surface roughness (SMD) was negatively correlated with the dry heating dimensional change ratio at 170℃. (3) As a result of correlation analysis between mean preference scores of "shittori, smooth, flat, easy to slide, soft, and elastic" and the mechanical properties of tapes, "shittori" was negatively correlated with the mean deviation of the coefficient of friction (MMD), "smooth, flat, and easy to slide" were negatively correlated with the surface roughness (SMD), "soft" was negatively correlated with the mean of the bending rigidity (BM), and "elastic" was positively correlated with the mean of the bending hysteresis (2HBM).
