Objective of this study to determine the effects of cellulase enzyme KSM-635 on the breaking load, tearing strength, weight, yarn number, flexural rigidity and elongation of 100 percent cotton fabric. The study was performed by soaking white cotton fabric in plain weave in 0.00 (no enzyme), 0.05, 0.08 and 0.11 percent enzyme solution for 15, 30 and 45 minutes followed by washing. The results of this study showed that when the concentration of enzyme increased, the tearing strength and flexural rigidity values increased but the breaking load, weight and elongation tended to decreased. When the soak time increased, the breaking load, tearing strength, flexural rigidity and elongation values increased but the weight and yarn number tended to decrease. Data analysis indicated that concentration of enzyme significantly affected tearing strength in warp and filling directions, weight and flexural rigidity in wap direction at .01 level and significantly affected bleaking load in warp direction and elongation in filling direction at .05 level. The soaking time significantly affected tearing strength in warp and filling directions, weight, flexural rigidity in warp direction and elongation in warp and filling directions at .01 level and significantly affected bleaking load in filling direction and filling yarn number at .05 level. The interaction between the two factors significantly affected tearing strength in warp and filling directions, weight and flexural rigidity in warp direction at 0.01 level and significantly affected the elongation in warp direction at .05 level.
